Good, Deep, Fantasy/Sci-Fi Series (for Older Readers)

[elus2]

Canadian author R Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing Series is just as complex and as rewarding to read as George RR Martin's Song of Ice and Fire.

The themes are a lot more powerful and the historical parallels with our world and in particular our religions make it very engrossing. The protagonist is very unique and more than human but the author just makes all the interactions between the characters feel so real that it doesn't matter.
