If you like Baen books (and that's pretty broad because it's both sci/fi and fantasy) you might like:
Chris Strange: The Man Who Crossed Worlds
Andrea Host: Stained Glass Monsters
Those are two indies who come to mind in that genre. Both those are excellent books.
Wool did not interest me enough to even pick it up...and a friend of mine read it and found it on the depressing side so I know I won't be picking it up!
