It's more "urban fantasy," than "high," but it's quite good.
Snarky wizard detective! Think two parts Dirty Harry, one part Merlin, one part Spider-man.
You end up with a workaday wizard who solves mysteries, does cool magic stuff, and makes jokes to his enemies to piss them off.
Good times.
Please recommend me fantasy books like Wheel of Time and Name of the Wind

"The Lies of Locke Lamora" is the one that springs most readily to mind.

Yes, if you don't mind some swearing, the Locke Lamora books are lots of fun.

Also, for a different feel, but also quite good: The Dresden Files (Jim Butcher)

If you want something like Wheel of Time just read Goodkind. He copied Jordan. *NM*

It starts out excruciatingly slow. And the plot was boring. Thanks *NM*

Discovered and reading The Warded Man. It seems to be up the same alley. *NM*
