Sanderson is basically the man when it comes to fantasy.
+2 for Mistborn. It’s not epic high fantasy, more of an anti hero piece.
Very good, draws you in fast.
Another recommendation is Patrick Rothruss’ Kingkiller chronicles.
Rumours are he’s finishing the third book this year.
And speaking of storm light archives, those are sandersons masterpieces. His game of thrones. Book four this year, and it’ll likely be a 10-12 book series. One book every 3-4 years.
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."
-H.P. Lovecraft
