As stated, I just finished The Black Company. I have read the Kings of the Wylde, Bloody Rose, LOTR, ASOIAF and other similar books so I am looking for a series in that vain. TIA

If you liked black company then Steven Erikson's malazan books would be a natural choice

Gentleman Bastards series?? Heard greats things about it and I’ve ordered it! Maybe look and see if that’s something you’d be into.

Also, heard great things about Malazan as others have said.

Love the GB series, but not sure if it will ever be finished.

I'd go Malazan - but wouldn't recommend reading them straight through, they are a bit of a slog in terms of the way he writes. Still probably my favorite series.

I usually recommend reading as follows if someone likes them (also be sure to give it through at least book 2, book 1 can be really wtf since he just sort of drops you into the story and you have to figure out who / what is going on).

First 4
Take a break and read a few other books,
Middle 3
Another Break,
Last 3

Raven's Shadow trilogy might do it for you.

Cook also has the Dread Empire books, though the one I read was a real slog to get through. It was A Shadow of All Night Falling and was his first novel ever published.

He has several other series as well that I need to check out.

When you say you've read the Black Company, do you mean the book, the Books of the North Compendium, or all of the books in that world?

Highly recommend the Thieves World books if you like the Black company.
