You should try Brandon Sanderson. I've only read "Elantris," which I loved, but his series are supposed to be phenomenal. He took over the Wheel of Time series after Robert Jordan died (I passed on those, heard a lot of complaints about the series degrading towards to end).

G.R.R.M.'s series A Song of Ice and Fire is
still not finished, so don't pick it up too soon if you want an ending.
Sanderson is brilliant! His book Warbreaker is my favourite so far (besides his two WoT books as they truly rocked). And it is true that Jordan started to get carried away towards the end of WoT, but he started to wrap things up and put out another great volume before his death. Then he left extensive notes and finished a bit of the series for the author chosen to finish it up. So glad Sanderson was picked. He really is a true fan of the series and an amazing author.
