I think it's Chimeras of Estmer and Silver Hands and Osten Ard books.
Chimeras of Estmer is definitely a great, unique and very underrated book. It's a really crazy mix of mystery, very epic fantasy with court intrigue and battles, and a bit of humour. One of the main characters spends about half the story as a cat, because a certain villain who killed his teacher also took his magic and turned him into an animal. So this guy has to return to his human form, find his teacher's killer and get the stolen magic back. There's also a crawling puddle of sentient water that follows and spies on people and then falls in love with a human girl, a princess who likes to solve mathematical equations, a cunning pirate with a living ship, and many other strange creatures and characters.
Then there's Silver Hands. It is part horror, part historical fiction, and part fantasy. It's like the Shogun series, but it's about an English girl, not an English guy, who happens to be in Tokugawa-era Japan. And on top of that, she's being stalked by a demon in human form who wants to marry her. And it's not exactly our world, because there's a flying island called Laputa floating in the sky above this world's Japan. So there is a bit of AU history in this book as well.
And as well as Chimeras of Estmer and Silver Hands, there are the Osten Ard books by Tad Williams. These include two book series, Memory, Sorrow and Thorn and The Last King of Osten Ard, and a few stand-alone books, all set in the same fictional world. This world is very complex and well described, like Middle-earth or the world of ASOIAF, and all the books are very well written. I think the only reason they're not as popular as LOTR or ASOIAF is that they've never been made into series or movies, because series and movies always do a lot for the popularity of the books they're based on. If such series were to be made, these books would eventually become more popular than LOTR and ASOIAF.
