What shall I read after completing the Farseer series?

13 books. All read back to back, with some non fiction in between.
I’m bereft.
I don’t know what to read now. I loved the pure, easy escapism.
Any suggestions? Preferably a trilogy (or more).

Jacqueline Carey? The Kushiel series is 3 trilogies, effectively. Really detailed and evocative.

I’ve just seen this, and the 13 books confused me, as I could think of 15 (5 trilogies), but having searched on amazon it looks like I missed the fact that the dragon keepers trilogy was actually a set of 4 and I’m sure I haven’t read the last one, though that was not my favourite set. So, if you have only read 13 of them, I suggest you go and read the missing trilogy, whichever it is!

What else apart from the escapism do you like? Is it the setting, character development, writing style that helps make it for you? Do you want a really long series to fall into or would a "mere" trilogy do?

Juliet McKenna may be worth a try for the latter - I read the Lescari Revolution trilogy recently but she has a few others.

Lois McMaster Bujold's Chalion series is good but the first 3 books are more standalone with overlapping characters than one story arc. Starts with The Curse of Chalion. The later Penric books are more novellas and do follow a story arc - same world, set a bit earlier (I think).

Or Steven Brust's Vlad Taltos series (not sure how many books by now - main character is an assassin, and a human in a society where Dragaerans (aka elves) are the dominant group.)
