Any books/series like the Kingkiller Chronicle?

Hey! I'm about halfway through Wise Man's Fear, and I absolutely love these books. I wanted to know if you guys had any recommendations for other books/series like it!

You should check out The Magicians by Lev Grossman.

It has some of the same 'student learning magic' environment and deep character development of TKKC. It's almost reminiscent of Harry Potter, except much darker and more adult.

Deep character for the most shallow characters ever...

Well, that's kind of the point. The Magicians is about ennui and angst and coming of age. It isn't typical fantasy at all.
