Re: Recommend me something like X

Guy Gavriel Kay has written some stuff that is comparable, I think. Definitely high fantasy, but a lot less blood-guts-grimdark than GRRM. Into building cultures and mythos and stuff. He has a trilogy called the Fionavar Tapestry, which I would recommend.

Huh. Now that I'm thinking about it, I feel like there's a lot less really good high fantasy than the popularity of orcs and elves would lead you to believe.
Perhaps The Mirror of Her Dreams and its sequel, A Man Rides Through, by Stephen Donaldson. It had some interesting concepts going on.

The Deed of Paksennarrion by Elizabeth Moon might fit - it's a trilogy about a lady knight doing knight-things, getting involved with gods and whatnot. I enjoyed it (it's also kind of refreshing to have a lady knight who's just a hero knight doing hero things).

I am debating whether or not the Renshai series by Mickey Zucker Reichert would count. I read it in high school and haven't since, so it might not hold up. That one is more directly based on the Norse myths. I don't think it has quite the 'sweep' of true high fantasy, but it was fun.
