It's not really similar to the DT at all but I just finished The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and the sequel they are only similar in that they are really good. I don't think I've read any other books that have given me the imagery that those first two DT books did though.
I gotta agree with Star Eather, end of Dark Tower series was so disappointing and sluggish. Everything after the train. I'm sorry, but Stephen King on drugs and alcohol was a much more interesting writer. I guess that's really kind of awful to say
