First Law: Abercrombie is amazing. Highly recommend.

Dresden: Fun modern urban fantasy. Lots of books. Bigtime page turners.

Expanse: These are excellent, and I definitely appreciate them more than the television series. That being said... I'd probably go with something else before this one.

Gentlemen Bastards: Also excellent. Frustrating because not concluded and don't know when they'll be concluded.

Assassins Apprentice: Not a big fan

Reckoners: Haven't read.

Black Company: Probably some of the original gritty fantasy. Really good, though I think I'd pick Abercrombie over this currently.

I'd pretty much echo your takes on those series across the board (outside of assassin's apprentice, I think that is a solid series, but I still wouldn't really suggest it to anyone when there are tons better series to read).

The reckoners is a really solid series by Sanderson though. It's young adult in the same way the original Red Rising trilogy is for a frame of reference. A good super hero dystopian fantasy series.

Not quite as good as the Superpowereds series by Drew Hayes for anyone who has read that, but very good.
