At least in theme.

I think the series about Vlad Taltos comes closer in
terms of character development and cultural background
(a society with distinct castes, a hero whose career
is less than savoury initially, semidivine beings who
play puppet-master behind the scenes, oh so subtly).

let me guide myself with the blue, forked torch of this flower
down the darker and darker stairs, where blue is darkened on blueness.
