The absolute best for me: The Malazan book of the fallen.

Book 1 is really hard to get into and doesn't reward as much. But if you stick with it, as early as the end of Book 2, you'll know what you're in for.

I was skeptical but after a rough start I enjoyed book 1 by the end. Not generally into fantasy and dropped Way of Kings, Wheel of Time and others.
