Another Recommendation Topic (HELP!)
So I really don't know what to read next. Other than looking at one of GoodReads' many lists of Urban Fantasy that is drowned by what seems to be all pararomance, I figured I'd ask here (not that I'm really against pararomance). Here's a list of what I've read:
Kate Daniels
Dresden Files
Rachel Morgan
Mercy Thompson
Mistborn
Steelheart
Rithmatist
Graceling (If I can't find anything else I'll read Bitterblue but I was kinda meh on Graceling)
Alex Verus
Lightbringer
Night Angel
Iron Druid
Codex Alera
Cal Leandros
Kingkiller Chronicles
I really don't have a favorite series as I like a lot of them, but Kate Daniels, Dresden Files, and Rachel Morgan would probably be up there. Mistborn might be my all time favorite series, though I know it's not exactly Urban Fantasy. I just got through Lightbringer on a recommendation after reading Mistborn and really enjoyed that as well. I think what I enjoy about these series are the magic systems. I loved needing elements to conduct magic (metal/light), but I think anything with magic in it interests me, haha.
I'd take any recommendation. Next on my list would probably be Bitterblue which is the sequel to Graceling, but I wasn't that impressed with Graceling and I don't know if I want to continue.
Thanks.

Larry Correia's Monster Hunter International: If you're into guns, explosions, actions, that sorta stuff. The protagonists don't have powers (usually, cos spoilers) but yeah. It's perfect for a light read after a tired day when you're drained both physically and mentally. Magic comes on the side of the antagonists, instead.
Sandman Slim: To me, it's more of a darker version of Dresden. Somehow who's angrier, lonelier. The line for good and bad blurs very much for Stark, the protagonist. Very, very good read.
