If you enjoy Steven Erickson you are likely to enjoy Glen Cook.It took me a while to get into this series but I have throughly enjoyed it. It plays with the concepts of technology replacing the power of magical and magical creatures. As gunpowder shifts the balance of power, and competent leaders find effective ways to apply it, the world changes.The story centers around a single character but it is realistic about that person's role in the world. Both Glen Cook and Steven Erickson write in a way that makes the characters more "real". Some will find this off putting as it removes the "hero" status of the characters.
