Jordan is my all time favourite, but in that same vein you should definitely check out Patrick Rothfuss and Brandon Sanderson (yes the same one who finished the Wheel of Time)

the Stormlight Archive feels so much like WoT, it`s uncanny
Jordan stands with the greats, including my favorites. Kipling, Burroughs, Vance, ...

In setting a scene, Jordan is exceptional and succinct though Vance is quicker, but Jordan can have the "pot boiler" tendency which becomes a malady at times.
