If you want a bit more in depth, go with the Wheel of Time series, by Robert Jordan.

I may be biased because I started reading Brooks a year or two after Sword of Shannara was first published--which is 30 years ago this month--and I've read everything of his since then except the Word series which I'm just starting now... but I still enjoy his fantasy books far more than anyone else's. With the subtle addition of technology to the last two Shannara series, plus the way he is tying together the Word and Shannara stuff in the current one (Genesis of Shannara) I'd disagree strongly that his world has less depth than Jordan's.
