The Saga of Pliocene Exile / Galactic Milieu series by Julian May. The best sci-fi books I've ever read for world-building and plot. Written in the '90s, hardly anyone remembers them, despite their success at the time.
They took a long time to write. One my friends was planning to break into May's house and read her notes if she died before finishing.
I remember in the GM series, she always ended the books on a cliffhanger, which may have been a brilliant marketing ploy but was simultaneously terrifying.
