For more of a modern urban fantasy, the October Daye novels by Seanan McGuire are quite good. Fey races with good & bad intentions, bit of a detective mystery.
The Hundred Thousand Kingdom's & The Broken Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin are a recent favorite of mine. Very character driven, plenty of magic & old gods to go around. I guess that makes it Fantasy.
I've also read The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson recently. Entertaining, gritty, magical, & Fantastic come to mind when describing this one.
I'm not particularly fond of authors who write a long series, where it feels like they should just get to the point already. These books move along quite nicely. Until you get to the end, then you just want more.
Most of my other fav's have already been mentioned. But I will reprise,
The Warded Man (Peter V. Brett)
The Name of the Wind (Patrick Rothfuss)
Dresden Files (Modern Urban Fantasy)
