The Honor Harrington series is Sci-Fi done with the flavor of of Horatio Hornblower's wind, sails, and broadsides. In his Safehold series he takes Sci-Fi and mixes it wiht the Medieval crusades. He is a very good author who develops living characters and tells large stories.
For just plain fun John Ringo writes a very good "aliens invade the earth" series in the Legacy of the Aldenatta.
All of these are published by Baen and many of their books are available (either wholey or in part) free from their website.

Erikson's books are fantastic, but the characterization could not be more different than WoT's.

Harriet's last name isn't Jordan so I'm assuming you mean Michael Jordan

RJ didn't pick anyone. He tried to finish it before he died.

Honestly, they kind of remind me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, if Giles was the main character.

I feel the same about Wot as you, and Robin Hobb is a great recommendation!
