There is one who can.
Steven Erikson's Malazan Series is ranked #2 on bestfantasybooks.com. You're #1. Rothfuss is #3.
Erikson is the one you need to watch out for. Rothfuss is still a young upstart. Erikson writes with your maturity. And I dare say there is nothing he wants more than your crown. While you are of necessity distracted by your own successes, he toils in a bare room perfecting his craft.
Beware.
But the great thing about literature is that there is room for many princes (and princesses). This is a golden age for epic fantasy, Rothfuss, Erikson, Abercrombie, Abraham, Scott Lynch, Robin Hobb, so many more... there are riches all around, and good books coming out every week.
The Demon Prince series (five books) is a great great read. The Planet of Adventure series (four books) is also terrific. Both of those are SF, however.
For fantasy, the Dying Earth sequence is marvelous, although it begins with a short story collection (THE DYING EARTH) that is not to everyone's taste (though I think it's bloody gorgeous myself). The Lyonesse trilogy is a more classic fantasy trilogy, and also first rate.
Now thinking about it, I just realized that I've never read sci-fi. I like watching science fiction (tv shows or movies) but I've not tried any sci-fi book. Will I like it? Will I not? The Demon Prince would be my next fiction series. Hmm, yes.
And Dying Earth sounds different enough from what I've read that I am probably going to like it.
Anyway, my point was ... thanks.
