In Malice, did you enjoy ...

... a goal-driven plot with high stakes and multiple quests?

The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson

If you loved following Corban's journey as he navigates prophecy and destiny in Malice, you'll be drawn into The Way of Kings. The novel is packed with ambitious characters like Kaladin and Dalinar, each pursuing their own perilous missions across a war-torn world. The sense of momentum and purpose will keep you gripped from the first page to the last.

... an ensemble cast with interwoven destinies?

A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin

Enjoyed the sprawling cast of warriors, rulers, and would-be heroes in Malice? A Game of Thrones introduces you to the Starks, Lannisters, and many others, each with their own ambitions and secrets. The shifting alliances and varied perspectives create a richly layered tapestry of characters you'll love (and love to hate).

... a protagonist’s powerful journey of personal growth?

The Name Of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

If Corban's evolution from uncertain youth to determined hero resonated with you in Malice, you'll be captivated by Kvothe's transformation in The Name of the Wind. Witness his struggles, setbacks, and triumphs as he seeks mastery over both magic and himself in a beautifully told coming-of-age tale.

... morally ambiguous heroes and gray choices?

The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie

Drawn to the flawed, sometimes ruthless choices of characters like Veradis and Nathair in Malice? The Blade Itself serves up a cast of anti-heroes—Logen Ninefingers, Inquisitor Glokta, and others—whose decisions blur the line between right and wrong, making for a gritty, thought-provoking read.

... detailed worldbuilding that brings a new world to life?

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch

If you were enthralled by the vividly realized Banished Lands, you'll be swept away by the city of Camorr in The Lies of Locke Lamora. The rich history, intricate social structures, and unique magic system create a world that feels as real and immersive as Gwynne’s.
