re: On the last book of Wheel of Time. Need recomendations

If you are looking at something comparable to WOT in terms of overall scope of world building and high magic fantasy, as Sally said Erikson's Malazan series would be your best bet. But it's very much a love it or hate it series for most. I would suggest starting with the second book in the series (you won't spoil anything from book 1 except that 3 characters live into the second book, and the first book can be very awkward to get into). If you like book 2 go back and read #1 before heading to #3. Book 2 is one of the best books in the series, so if you don't like that one then Malazan is not for you.

I'd also recommend The faithful and the fallen series by Jon Gwynne, it's also somewhat similar in style.

Michael J Sullivan's Riyria books are also excellent.

If you are looking for something more gritty and lower magic then Joe Abercrombie's First Law series and other books in the same world as mentioned are excellent too.
