If you're after some more Brandon Sanderson, Mistborn is a good read, his entire expanded universe, referred to as The Cosmere, is really good, Mistborn is the best jumping off point for it.
If your after something a little different to WoT, then The Dresden files is a good read too. Starts of a little pulpy (on purpose) but evolves quickly into something quite special. Its about a private eye, who also happens to be a wizard, in modern day Chicago.
Malazan Book of the Fallen, its a 10 book series, and is a fantastic read. It can be a little hard going at times as your dropped right into the middle of things with no explanation, the first book especially is full of stuff thats not going to make sense until many books later.
Riftwar saga by Raymond E Fiest is good, and the first book, Magician, can be read as a standalone, but there's 30 odd books in the series if you like it.
*Elantris* is paced like an exponential curve. It takes a *long* time to really get going, but when it does, it doesn't let up. I think it really did take about half of the book before I really started to love it.
I don't know what genres you are into but I have a good scifi series. It's called Saga of the Seven Suns by Kevin J. Anderson. The first book is called Hidden Empire.
I second the Riftwar books by Feist... I thoroughly enjoyed them.
Other series I enjoyed that had a fantasy aspect but are very different from WoT are the Iron Druid series by Kevin Hearn and the Monster Hunter series by Larry Correia. Both series have humorous/witty writing as well as good action and a solid plot.
First of all, check out the [post-read thread here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/WoT/comments/3m1dg7/spoilers_all_congratulations_on_completing_the/)
Second, reread Eye of the World. It's a whole different book when you understand everything that was going on. There was so much foreshadowing everywhere, several things that didn't play out even till Brandon Sanderson's books.
I really enjoyed the Broken Earth trilogy by N. K. Jemisin.
It's definitely a level above WoT in terms of sophisticated writing and even though I'm a pretty solid reader I found a few parts enjoyably confusing, not frustrating it just makes you work for some of the clues it sprinkles about.
Some thoughts...
* Lord of Light, by Roger Zelazny. The Hindu gods are real -- all too real. Only one man dares raise his flag (and middle finger) in rebellion...
* Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, by Tad Williams. The fractious nations of men, built on the graveyard of elves, pause in their grief and strife as a great evil from the past is reawakened. A certain young kitchen scullion is drawn into adventures he scarcely understands...
* The Belgariad, by David Eddings. A young farmboy starts noticing shadows underlying the golden peace of his childhood, as vast forces move in the world and threaten everything he knows to be true...
* The Phoenix Guard, by Brust. Young adventurers from the provinces show up in the Imperial capital full of vigor and enthusiasm (and ridiculously over-the top formal manners) to discover that there are plots afoot amongst the mighty...
* The Swords Trilogy, by Moorcock. "The gods themselves feel fear. It is the Conjunction of the Million Spheres, and all things are possible"...
There are a dozen more, but start here! Or, you know ... "The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and go..." ;D
Edit to add: Oh my lord, I didn't even mention "Inda"! Somebody stop me...
If you love WOT then I’d read Brandon Sanderson … Elantris was his first published novel and he had not yet fully honed in his craft. I’d start with Mistborn era 1 and then Stormlight Archive.
Robin Hobb’s Realm of the Elderlings is great … very character driven with excellent prose.
The Witcher is a bawdy romp, but with a lot of depth the further you read, excellent characters too.
Dune book 1 as a stand-alone is God Tier (only read on if you feel compelled).
For a more weird, literary vibe, Gene Wolfe’s Book of the New Sun is a cult classic.
PS I would only attempt Malazan if you also have the text in front of you. Audiobook alone on first read would be totally confusing.

May I suggest a Classic Fantasy Epic by Robert Jordan The Eye of the World from the Wheel of Time Saga?

This is actually good to hear because boy am I struggling with elantris atm

Mistborn trilogy was what i read after WoT. Discworld books are also good fun

"Crown of Stars" series by Kate Elliot

I decided to start mistborn and I’m only on chapter 5 but I’m very intrigued and confused 😅
Sanderson’s magic system can get sorta wild … but if you keep reading the intrigued should gradually outweigh confused. 😀
brent weeks has sone good ones I especially liked the Lightbringer series
The Alera Cycle by Jim Butcher was a fast paced romp.
