Hi, I'm Adam and am new here. I am finishing Sandersons Rhythm of War and am looking for a new series to read . I have read Mistborn, Tolkein, Feist, Eddings, Moorcock and Estes. Please give me any suggestions you all have on a good fantasy series to begin next. Thanks in advance for any input you can give.

All those books are tough to follow up. I have heard great things about Joe Abercrombie's First Law series. It's got those high fantasy elements that you seem to enjoy. An author that I personally enjoyed was R.F Kuang. She wrote Babel and The poppy war series which you may like as well. She plays with morally imperfect characters, magical realism, her characters force the reader to think about topics like race, colorism, gender, capitalism etc. If you enjoy intricate and unique world building maybe try The mirror visitor series by Christelle Dabos. Its French YA series, so it's not the super intellectually complex, but, it's got such a cool fictional universe and philosophical themes (it is French, after all.) One last suggestion I'll give is a SCI-FI/FANTASY mix called Red rising by pierce brown it has the, always enjoyable, found family trope and works as a great allegory. Hope this helps!
Patrick Rothfuss writes some well developed books that are engaging. The Kingkiller Chronicles is an enjoyable read....although those of us who enjoyed it are still on pins and needles waiting for the third book.
You could try the Sanderson adjacent, Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time if you like Epic High Fantasy.
Along the lines of plot-oriented high fantasy try The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter or anything from John Gwynne. If you enjoy slower, more character focused fantasy Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings is phenomenal, and Fonda Lee's Green Bone Saga (urban fantasy) is supposed to be top notch. Hope that helps!
