Recently my fantasy books have come from Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive series. I have read the three books that have been published out of the planned ten. Brandon Sanderson really came to the forefront of the fantasy world when he stepped up to finish the Wheel of Time series after Robert Jordan died. I can't speak to his work there, since I could not continue that series when Jordan's later books became unbearably tedious. Now that I've read his original work, I can say that Sanderson is a great author. He creates fantastically intricate worlds. He has the universe developed to such an extent that he has appendices at the end of each of his novels providing meticulous charts laying out various facets that are completely unnecessary to the story.
