As others have said, at this level there really aren't any methods that will hold your
hand all the way to the next level. It's all about tons of exposure and practice with
some targeted work with some materials on the side to help you improve. Thus you'll
probably go for long stretches where you feel like you aren't making any progress but
you really are.

I have Alter Ego 5, which Cavesa mentioned (which technically is supposed to be good
for C2 level, but well, that's more just preparation for the C2 DALF). It's pretty
decent as all the materials it uses as a base for its exercises are taken from
authentic native French sources but it's just a companion, not a replacement for time
spent getting exposure and practice which is what really brings you up to C1-C2.

One book to add to the others: Expression et Style which features all the little
connectors and ways to express the relationship of ideas and clauses. It's marked for
B2-C1.

And vocabulary is pretty important at this stage. Grammar is finite and just needs to
be practiced but vocabulary seems to go on forever, especially when you need to start
learning register.
