I just read the first Stormlight book and thought it was a great read, definitely more of a beach read fantasy especially compared to Tolkien but a well put together story at the very least. I see where you're coming from though.

Do you have suggestions for other fantasy that you feel compares to Tolkien and doesn't remind you of a dirty rural parking lot?

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.
