In my experience, J.R.R. Tolkien and Terry Pratchett have some amazing world-building techniques which make their fantastical world not simply believable but also engrossing.

It's definitely, J.K. Rowling and Cassandra Clare.
They're guaranteed the best!

Shakespeare! I remember our drama professor had us stand in parallel lines facing each other. He gave us a paper full of Shakespearian words / language and told us to throw insults at each other. It was hilarious!

JRR Tolkien, Brandon Sanderson, and I recently reviewed a book called We Are Voulhire (I believe the author is Matthew Tysz), and the world-building was fantastic.

I really loved the way Christopher Paolini built up the world for the Eragon series. It was the series I fell in love with after reading through the Harry Potter series.

Seanan McGuire's worlds are always so in-depth, yet feel very natural in their progression.
