I mean, I did like the Sword of Truth series, even if it did have quite a few instances of rape, and some parts of the magic system was a bit contrived. (Particularly the solution to the poison he had taken in at some point). The stories were repeats at some points as well, but it can be compelling.

I enjoyed the Codex Alera, and tend to enjoy Jim Butcher's stories.

Although, I must say the Mistborn series by Sanderson is something I'd have to add as a recommendation.
