I can't really rec Wheel of Time. Unless you like 3 paragraphs about every stitch in someone clothing every time they enter a room, and useless descriptions several times a chapter about how Aes Sedai adjust their shawls.

If that shit was left out the book could have been ended after 7-8 instead of a proposed 14-15.

Sanderson seems to be going in the right direction, but the damage is done.

It's all about details mate, some love it, some want more speedy stories.
I myself love the TWoT series, and though Brandon Sandersson ruined it some by speeding it up so much, but as I said, it's all personal opinions.

On topic

The Drenai Series by David Gemmell, all of free standing, but I guess there's a kind of 'history' order.
The Rigante Series by David Gemmell, epic fantasy 4 books total.
The Painted man/The Warded man by Peter V. Brett. highly recommended.
The Deed of Paksenarrion Novels by Elizabeth Moon
Anything by David Eddings
The Riftwar Cycle by Raymond E. Feist

hope you find something you'll like

If you're into high fantasy and epic fantasy, you should read The Hobbit (lightweight), then the Lord of the Rings (moderate, depends on the reader) and after those two try The Silmarillion (heavy) and then the Children of Hurin (moderate, depends on the reader). The Hobbit and LoTR are one pretty much, but the other two are not. They are _all_ part of JRR Tolkien's epic fantasy legendarium Arda and are all connected in one way or another. I warn you though, the legendarium is _vast_, there's nothing like it in any way.

By the way, Christopher Paolini's book series is called The Inheritance Cycle. Eragon is the first book of the series.

Songs of Fire and Ice is another great one.

nothing like it in how vast it is?

Forgotten Realms.
