I'm going through Wheel of Time now and I'm enjoying it a lot. It's not as elegant as Tolkein, but it definitely leans more towards that style than Sanderson does.

I haven’t started Wheel of Time yet but The Kingkiller Chronicles had some prose that I could just not put down.

It gets a little eye-rolly in the second book for me (IYKYK) but I think Rothfuss deserves a place in this convo for sure. My opinion.

Absolutely loved those books but can’t recommend reading them until book 3 comes out, lest others be stuck with us in this same eternal purgatory.

I... Depending on what book you are on you do realize that Brandon Sanderson wrote some of those I hope.

I love Wheel of Time. Solid fantasy. Not sure if you’re aware but the author passed away before being able to finish the series. He left notes on how to complete the series and on who he thought should be the one to write the last book. The authors publisher, also his wife, went through all those notes and ultimately picked Sanderson to complete the series. He does a fantastic job at it too and had I not known before hand I would have been hard pressed to realize the author changed.
