If you like "The Legend of Eli Monpress" by Rachel Aaron, then you might enjoy...

Royce Melborn and Hadrian Blackwater work together as an infamous group of thieves. They make a living taking on high paying jobs for conspiring noblemen.

In their last job, stealing a duellist's famous sword, they become the unwitting scapegoats in a plot to murder the king. Sentenced to death, they are presented with an unexpected way out of their predicament.

This finds them suddenly entangled in a larger conspiracy regarding the leadership of not only their own kingdom but the empire as well.

This book is the start of a good and entertaining series.

The Riyria Revelations might not be among the best fantasy series, but it is absolutely worth reading.

The Riyria Revelations books are probably one of the most similar book series to The Legend of Eli Monpress books on this list. Some of the characters have similar characteristics, and writing also has some similarities. The main characters in both series are excellent thieves and they like grand challenges. 

If you like The Legend of Eli Monpress books then The Riyria Revelations series is a must-read. 

The people of Alera are bound with furies, elementals of earth, water, air, fire, and metal.

The teenager Tavi stands out from all other people in Alere, he has no furycrafting.

However, Tavi manages to get by with brains and courage, even when everyone else has the power of furies backing them.

When his homeland erupts in chaos, when rebels war with loyalists and furies clash with furies, Tavi's simple furyles courage will turn the tides of war.

Furies of Calderon is the first book of Codex Alera, a finished six-book series.

This is an excellent series, and I absolutely recommend people loving fantasy books to read it.

The Legend of Eli Monpress and Codex Alera both have a similarish magic system. They both work by manipulating spirits.

The Legend of Eli Monpress have more type of spirits and they are not bound to a person like they are in Codex Alera.

Codex Alera Is not the book series that is most similar on this list. But it is a good book series.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms.

The Storm-father, an uncanny tempest of incredible power, sweep across the rocky terrain frequently. It has done so as long as anyone can remember.

The Storm-father has shaped ecology and civilization alike with its incredible power.

Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter.

In The Way of Kings, the first book of The Stormlight Archive, we follow three main protagonists.

Kaladin, who traded his promising medical apprenticeship for a spear to protect his little brother. But only to be twice betrayed by his Brightlord and ends up in slavery.

Brightlord Dalinar Kholin, brother of the late king, commander of one of the armies, and follower of The Way of Kings.

And Shallan, who is seeking to train under an eminent scholar and notorious heretic, Dalinars niece, Jasnah. Though she genuinely loves learning, Shallan’s motives are less than pure.

The Stormlight Archive is highly recommended.

The first book in this series is very promising. Sanderson is an excellent and productive author. This series is just like his other books. Excellent worldbuilding, top-notch magic system, and interesting characters.

If you like fantasy books, then this is a must-read.

They both have spirits that are an integral part of their magic systems. But they are not much similar on other points.

The Stormlight Archive is not that similar, but it is an exceptional goos fantasy series.

Alec is taken prisoner for a crime he didn’t commit and his life looks like it will soon come to an end.

Soon Alec is traveling roads he never knew existed, toward a war he never suspected was brewing. They soon become entangled in a devious plot that runs deeper than they can imagine.

Complicating things further is Alec's discovery of Seregil's sexual preferences and his growing and confusing feelings toward Seregil.

Luck in the Shadows is a really great book, and so it the rest of the Nightrunner books.

The Nightrunner books are an absolute must-read if you like fantasy books, as long as you are not homophobic.

The Nightrunner books also are about thieves, and one of them is real gentleman like, just like Eli.

The Nightrunner books are really good and absolutely worth checking out.

White Collar is an interesting show, lots of cons and tricks. Cool to watch.

If you like crime shows, then you should give White Collar a try.

White Collar is not set in a fantasy setting, it is a reality show set in our times. But Neal Caffey is a gentleman thief that has some similar characteristics to Eli. 

It is a very good show that is worth checking out, even if it is not that directly similar to The Legend of Eli Monpress.

Lucifer Morningstar is bored with his life and duties as the lord of hell. He decided to take a vacation in the city of angels.

But when one of his clients is gunned down he teams up with an LAPD detective to solve the case.

Lucifer is so smitten with this detective that he decides to join the LAPD as a consultant. He uses his power to draw out people's deepest desires and wishes to solve crimes.

I love this show.

I know it`s jet another crime show with a specially gifted but flawed main person, but I still love it.

Some people get in a fizzy fit because the TV show goes too far away from the comic. I have never read the comic books so I don really care about that.
