I would definitely recommend all the books by David Gemmell.

Someone recommended him to me because I have the Conan stories by Howard, Elric books, and Ice and Fire. They said if I like grimdark fantasy I’d like Gemmell
Yeah he's great. A 100% not woke.
Sweet. What one book or series of his should I start with?
Depends I guess on if you want to delve into his historical fantasy or standalone fantasy. I've mostly read his historical fantasy, personally. Starting with Lion of Macedon.
The Hawk Queen duology was kind of interesting, but was also a little strange. And I already mentioned his Troy Trilogy in another comment.
Thanks. I may start with the trilogy first
Actually just do Drenai in chronological order - https://www.goodreads.com/series/77118-drenai-saga-chronological-order
Waylander for mine. There's a lot of overlap in some of the series. But the Entire Sipstrassi stones sequence is probably the best
Thanks!
