The Name of the Wind Another long, absorbing fantasy where the pleasure is in its voice and magic, although self-contained in focus.
-

The great model of an epic finale, where a long war and many threads come to a head.
-
Mistborn: The Final Empire
Same author, with a tighter and shorter story to see the same style of magic and payoff.
