Looking for something to read...thoughts? (Fantasy)

I was a Robert Jordan fan that became a Brandon Sanderson fan. I have now read all of his books and am looking for something new along the same line. I love the way Sanderson interweaves politics, religion and the debate about unforseen consequences of actions taken even when the intentions of the character seemed to be the right thing to do.
I have read most of L.E. Modesitt Jr. Recluse series of books, but the whole order/chaos thing wore thin after a while. I tried Terry Brooks and found his books a tad boring.
Have started Song of Ice and Fire, but having seen the first season of GOT on HBO makes the reading a bit tedious.
Any other good fantasy I should look at? (Not based on some game, please.)

I don't know what you are talking about, but I like Harry Potter.

David Gemmell is my favorite fantasy author, but his work is not for everyone and may not be of the same depth of some of the authors you referenced. His stories are more straight forward, but I have trouble putting his books down. Legend is his most well known work, but his Rigante series and his Troy series are the best imo.
Paul Kearney, Greg Keyes, David Eddings are some others I would recommend.

I'm a big fan of the Dragonlance Chronicles by Weis & Hickman. But I really enjoy the Dungeons and Dragons type setting/fantasy aspect that their books are about. I'd highly recommend it. There are a shite ton of different books in the Dragonlance series that are all involved with the same world at different times with some overlap in characters and stuff. It's really easy to get dragged into these books.

Jennifer Roberson: The Chronicles of the Cheysuli, The Sword Dancer Series, or the Karavans series are all solid.

If you like Horror, Fantasy, and Espionage combined try the Necroscope Series by Brian Lumley.

First 3 books in the Piers Anthony Xanth "trilogy". The series has become a 3x9 trilogy and some what watered down, but the 1st three books were great. May not be as adult as some of the other suggestions but still a great read.

Thanks for the recommendations. Maybe I will take another look at Terry Brooks. I read one Brian Lumbley book Blood Brothers, but it has been a while.
Will peruse Amazon for some of the others recommended. Thanks
