Stephen Donaldson and Glenn Cook. While I may not always agree with the actions of the protagonists, the worlds that they create drag me into them and make me care.

Then my vote would go to Michael Moorcock and his impressively large catalogue of Eternal Champion series books.
I especially liked the Count Brass series.

My absolutely favourite fantasy author is Tim Powers because his work is always weird and generally exhilarating (though his books do vary greatly).
I also like Adrian Tchaikovsky's work though I confess I tend to read his books once and then move on, that's mostly because he writes great fat bricks of prose and after a while, I find that wearisome to plough through.

But, I also like the authors of the related hexology 'The War of the Spider Queen'
Richard Lee Byers (Book I-'Dissolution')
Thomas Mayne Reid (Book II-'Insurrection')
Richard Baker (Book III-'Condemnation')
Lisa Smedman (BookIV-'Extinction')
Paul S. Kemp (Book V-'Annihilation')
Philip Athans (Book VI-'Resurrection')
Although this series was written with oversite from Salvatore (for the sake of continuity with his own storyline) all of these authors have other works that are just as good.

There's so many out there, but those two definitely stand out. Unfortunately there's a long wait for each new book.

@Lydia, We must have very similar tastes! Tolkien, Lewis, and Paolini are my three favorite fantasy authors! Riordan is practically a staple in my house and Cornelia Funke and Brandon Mull are very good as well. Out of Funke's books, I discovered the Inkheart trilogy first, but I've also read Dragon Rider and some of her Reckless series. Brandon Mull also wrote the Beyonders, Five Kingdoms, and Candy Shop Wars books, all of which are good.Lydia wrote: ↑20 Oct 2013, 06:15 Those are all very good fantasy authors. My favorites are a bit too much on the kiddie side, I admit.
Let's see, Tolkien for sure. Then there are two others who follow his patterns - Christopher Paolini (Eragon) and Patricia McKillip (Riddlemaster Trilogy). Raymond E. Feist is also another favorite of mine, though his books are a bit too gory and violent sometimes. Of course, there are also Lewis with his Narnia books, Cornelia Funke (Inkeart), Rick Riordan (Percy Jackson), Philip Pullman (His Dark Materials) and Brandon Mull (Fablehaven). Oh, and Derek Landy - his Skulduggery Pleasant books are simply exquisite!
