Scope maybe but, ...Please spill the beans? Hmm, I can't think of anything that has the balls to explore the themes and issues here or bring humanity to a "magical" high fantasy universe, besides for the Witcher video game series, the books were rathe squeaky clean high fantasy with a few bad words here and there. Everything pre millenial is either kids/teens or follows tolken to closely. The way to babylon ...maybe but that is one book, not near the scope of ASOIAF. |
The one that immediately comes to mind is Malazan: Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson. Massive massive series, and probably an order of magnitude more complex than ASOIAF. Probably a little more "fantasy" and a little less "human." While it doesn't offer the exact same experience as ASOIAF, it is often mentioned in the same breath.
