-The Name of the Wind - Patrick Rothfuss

-The Lies of Locke Lamora - Scott Lynch

These two are both brilliantly-written starts to what would be exceptional series, but they're not finished and may well never be - just a caveat emptor if that kind of thing bugs you.

Scott Lynch's Gentleman Bastard books stand alone so it's not so much of a problem, but Patrick Rothfuss seems to be having too much fun with other projects to deliver the final part of his trilogy.

Brandon Sanderson, on the other hand, is astonishingly productive. His world-building and plotting are top-notch and that his writing doesn't sparkle like Rothfuss isn't a problem (personally) since they tend to be long books and I'm not the speediest of readers.
