So fantasy:
Adrian Tchaikovsky - Brilliant. It's a Kinden Surprise (aha, aha, ah. No? mmm, fewer Kinden puns then I guess)
Pratchett, of course, and really looking forward to the new Watch series coming out on the small screen.
The Fionovar Tapestry Trilogy. So overlooked, but a delight to read. So emotionally well written that as a survivor, I've only ever been able to read sections of the end of the first book once.
N K Jemisin who's works are mind-blowing. . .1/?
...as are Robin Hobb's.
Elizabeth Haydon's Rhapsody books also hit the spot with me. Suitably myffic, and grand in scale. Love them.
Brandon Sanderson. Excellent. I've watched him improve leaps and bounds as a writer and I'm so impressed, especially with what is promising to be a truly epic-in-scale series, The Stormlight Archives.

...Tad Williams. Love the Osten Ard books. Not so keen on the other series though (Otherland and Shadowmarch). I mean they're good, but to me they lack the spark that made Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn really work.
And there's so many other writers as well, far too many to mention, but there is one who I truly believe deserves special mention.

@SakuraNoSeirei Oh, those were really great. Re-read them a couple of times.
