What're other fantasy books as evocative, poetic, humane, beautiful, creative as Name of the Wind?

Zelazny, particularly Lord of Light and the Chronicles of Amber
Brust, Vlad Taltos series, Agyar
Mieville, Perdido Street Station, Iron Council, if you don't mind them also being breathtakingly depressing
Pratchett, let's say Wyrd Sisters, Mort, and Lords and Ladies to start
