"The Way of Kings" by Brandon Sanderson. I am in absolute awe of Sanderson's world building and character creating prowess. 1,000 pages and I was hooked from pretty much the beginning. This is a thinking man's "fantasy" novel which does not fit any old mold with which I am familiar and I have been reading Sci Fi and fantasy for 44 years. The magic system created in The Way of Kings is seamless, believable, and completely unique. The culture is real and the characters realistic within it. What more than 5 stars (never gave that before) can I say except - I ordered the box set of his Mistborn trilogy new through the club when halfway through this book. WOW! Read it if you love fantasy with depth as well as action. If Brandon Sanderson had written the entire Wheel of Time series instead of finishing the last couple of the series after Robert Jordan passed I'm sure I would have gone past book 7.
