Ya, I haven't found much comparable world-building series with the same scope. Is The Faithful and The Fallen similar to those two - haven't read that one.

Have also considered digging in to some of Sanderson's work, but haven't gotten around to it. I haven't been reading enough lately, need to get back into the swing.

The faithful and fallen isn't on the same scope of worldbuilding as Malazan and WOT (but then I don't really know of really any other series that are). It's more of just the overall feel of the series gave me a little of the old school fantasy vibe. But it's one of the better new series I've read.

Gwynne, Mark Lawrence, Miles Cameron,Peter V. Brett, Sebastien de Castell, Django Wexler, Brian McClellan, and Jon Hornor Jacobs (Incorruptibles series) are all kinda newer guys who have really good series, and more importantly, good finished series.

If you are looking for something somewhat close to Malazan to a certain extent I'd say Glen Cook's Black Company books are very good and close there. Erikson basically got the idea for the Malazan company soldiers from being a fan of those books.

Check out the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson. Same author that finished up WOT series after Jordan’s death.
