I'd recommend the Shadows of the Apt series by Adrian Tchaikovsky! 

It's an epic fantasy with steampunk elements about the conflicts between an ancient, mysterious magic system and the rapidly advancing technology of a world that has largely forgotten about it.

It covers basically any fantasy genre you can think of. There's lots of large-scale battles, detailed worldbuilding, complex and morally grey character dynamics, FREAKY BUG PEOPLE, horror elements, political machinations, and a lot of really diverse protagonists. 

It's probably my favourite fantasy series, it's seriously SO GOOD. It is pretty long though (10 books with 600~ pages each), but I'd say it's definitely worth it :))))
