First Law: I recommend these books to everyone. Well worth the read, at least the first trilogy.

Expanse: I only watched the first season of the show, and it follows the first book pretty closely. its another outstanding series that I recommend to everyone

Gentlemen Bastards: the first book is really, really good. A lot of people didn't like the second, but I thought it was great. Third book is also good. But be prepared for the series to never be finished a la George R R Martin. The author suffers from anxiety, and severe Trump Derangement Syndrome. And its been radio silence for a while now on when the next book will be published.

I'll add Kings of the Wyld to your list of fun and interested fantasy.

If you're looking for SciFi, Old Man's War is a good page turner with an interesting concept.

Lies of Locke Lamora is fantastic and can be read as a stand alone story. Lynch could have never written another book and this would still be great.

Second book was also a stand alone story, though it helps if you read the first one. I thought it was disjointed and poorly paced but not bad.

The third book is where it gets frustrating. Was very good, much better than the second. But it ends on a cliff hanger with a very huge reveal…..and we will likely never get the rest of the story.
