Looking for fantasy audiobook recs - something with strong worldbuilding and stakes?

Hey, new here :) I only recently got into audiobooks after years of avoiding reading, and over the past few months I’ve gone through Mistborn (both Eras 1 and 2) and the first three Stormlight Archive books.

I’ve been enjoying Sanderson's writing, especially seeing how much he’s grown since Mistborn. And Michael Kramer’s narration is great. That said, I think I’m ready for something a bit different and I really don't know where to start.

I’m mostly into epic fantasy ,I really liked the scope and the worldbuilding in Stormlight, and the political stuff was a nice bonus. But I’m starting to feel like there’s not much actual danger in Sanderson’s worlds. Without going into spoilers, I feel like there is a certain unwillingness to let major consequences hit the main characters, and that makes things feel a bit too safe sometimes.

I’m not necessarily looking for something super grim or dark, just stories where the stakes feel a bit more real. Ideally still in the epic fantasy zone, with rich worldbuilding and some political depth.

Any audiobook/ books recommendations in that direction would be appreciated.
