So much liberal slop in fantasy stories. Mr. Dogood kills the bad king, then becomes the good king. Gimme some peasant revolts or something. Ones that aren't portrayed as some evil murderous mob

    The Malazan Book of the Fallen series.

    I think book 4 or 5 introduces the capitalist imperialist country and is basically the authors way of critiquing that. It's got a little bit of lib in it but you gotta search hard. Just a really good book series overall, written by an anthropologist and it really shows.

      Midnight tides or book 5 yeah introduces the city of lether with the best duo of tehol n bug.

      I definitely 2nd this recommendation. Though fair warning, literally nothing is explained and it is up to you to put the pieces of the puzzle together. I personally think its very much worth the effort, nothing is overly complex it just has many many moving parts and you get the perspective of most of the various factions and characters in the story.
