Not sure these are all better than LOTR, but here are a few of my favorites:
Robin Hobb (4 trilogys and a 4 book series all following each other with some character overlap)
Arkady Martine - A Memory Called Empire, A Desolation Called Peace, third to come (A bit like the Expanse if you've seen the show)
N. K Jemesin trilogy (really great, though they're borderline for ages 11-13 imo)
Paolo Bacigalupi - The Wind-Up Girl (stand-alone hefty near-future dystopia.
Guy Gavriel Kay - Sailing to Sarantium and sequel
YA fantasy/sci-fi:
Kristin Cashore - Graceling and sequels
Megan Whalen Turner - The Thief and its sequels
Orson Scott Card - Ender's Game and sequels (though the immediate sequels diverge pretty significantly from the first book)
Yahoo 12-team H2H partial keeper league (keep 7 vets + 3 prospects (p = skater <201 gp; goalie < 101gp))
