I know about ‘Mistborn’ and ‘The Stormlight Archive’ series, I’m not touching ‘A song of ice and fire’ until its completed, As much as I’ve tried I can’t get \*into ‘\*The Lord of the Rings,’ and I plan on reading ‘The Dark Tower’ series eventually but not right after I finish WoT.
EDIT: More than 3 books\* Silly me.
EDIT: Thank you for all the suggestions, every one had peaked my interest and even if i don’t pick them up immediately they’ll be going on my never ending list haha!

Robin Hobb has a series of trilogies following the same character starting with Farseer Trilogy.
As for LOTR Id suggest the recent audiobooks narrated by Andy Serkis. I had trouble getting into them via my eyeballs but Serkis brings the text to life in a pretty engaging way
Terry Goodkind, The Sword of Truth series. A coworker gave me a few of those, as well as his Wheel of Time books. I thought I’d hate them, but I was sucked in.
David Eddings’ Elenium/ Tamuli
Black Jewels, Bishop (I also like to rec this after WoT, for a gendered magic written by a woman)
Symphony of Ages, Haydon
The Death Gate Cycle by Weis and Hickman is fantasy, but I don’t know whether anyone else would consider it to be in the vein of WoT. I enjoyed it though, and it’s complete! I, too, don’t plan on trying ASoIaF until it’s complete (which it may never be).
The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.
Malazan. And sorry.
The Coldfire Trilogy by CS Friedman is a great blend of sci-fi and fantasy and they’re worth more than WoT.
Dune is an obviously choice but it gets weirdly lusty by book 5.
Dresden files. U want darkish humor I love Dresden’s humor
Night Angel trilogy (and the author has other series too)
Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn by Tad Williams. Has 3 books in the trilogy plus a handfull more that take place in the same world of Osten Ard.
David Eddings might be what you want.
