I beg of you...help me decide!

Book Request

I am very indecisive by nature thanks to my ADHD. Surprisingly, I do much better with long, complex reads than short, easy ones. I read most of the regular romantasy books in a day or 2. (Alchemised took 3, though).

I have been mulling over which romantasy series to get into and immerse myself in.

That has been going on for a month, during which i have managed to read several other books, which were either standalones or part 1s of unfinished series. None of them were particularly incredible.

So, here is what i am looking for :

- **political intrigue** (the more, the better. I want {A Song of Ice and Fire} level political intrigue, at least)

- **good writing** , good prose

- a **slow romance**

- I should feel like i am going on a **journey**, and at the end of the trilogy/tetralogy/pentalogy, I should feel overwhelmed and yet satisfied

- the series doesn't need to be finished, but it needs to be at least 3-4 books in.

- **complex**

Some options I am thinking of :

- {Paladin's Grace T Kingfisher}

- {Kushiel's Dart Jacqueline Carey}

- {Reign & Ruin J D Evans}

Please help me pick from one of them. I need something juicy to sink my teeth into. I need depth, complex morality, a big cast of characters, a long chracter journey (not literally).

(Please no Maas recs, and no Bridge Kingdom, Fourth Wing, Direbound like stuff)
