Since you like sci-fi and fantasy I'll make a couple of recommendations.
C.S. Friedman's Coldfire trilogy (when is it OK for you to use evil to fight evil? And how does that affect you? )
and C.S. Friedman's Magister trilogy (about sorcerers that user others' lives to power their magic and immortality)
Last year I read Karen Miller's Blight of Mages (about ignoring the rules in the cause of the greater good...doesn't end well). It's a prequel to a series but I'm not familiar with the series (might read it later).
