If we're naming author's who have run out of ideas, then Eddings is another one. He seems to have the same perfectly unflawed characters in all of his books. I used to like them, but theres only so many perfect good guys and stereotypically evil bad guys you can read about before it gets a bit tiresome.

Joe Abercrombie, Scott Lynch and Brian Ruckley are all relatively new up and coming authors in the fantasy genre I would recommend though. Oh and someone please check out Jennifer Fallon's second son trilogy, I think i might actually be the only person besides Jennifer who has read it.
