For dealing with Kingkiller Chronicle withdrawal (extremely highly recommended, possibly my favorite book series right now), I and others have found that the Demon Cycle and Gentlemen Bastard series are good substitutes. They’re both also incomplete, though.
I disliked The Lies of Locke Lamora; I felt the lead’s morality was implausibly inconsistent, and the book seemed to rely heavily on thievery being cool. I found The Straight Razor Cure a much more satisfying example of that kind of fantasy, with a mystery that fit together well and a very enjoyable twist for the ending.
