My recommendations:

Guy Gavriel Kay - mostly historical-based fantasy with a much more nuanced approach than the typical good vs evil approach.

Terry Pratchett - early Discworld novels for a parody of standard high fantasy tropes; later novels for a more serious satirical approach to life, the universe and everything.

Sergei Lukyanenko - as mentioned above, modern urban fantasy.

Richard Morgan - high fantasy with a grimmer, darker tone.
