Most of the criticism I've heard of Orson Scott Card was for his homophobia, whether that appeared in his work or not, or less frequently the idea that the series is just a sequence of obstacles set up in front of a protagonist who is close to perfect at the start of the series and defeats all of them without much exertion or significant change, their existence merely demonstrating that he already had the skills required and that people were underestimating him.
Please don't feel you're limited to sci-fi or even fiction, that's just what I happened to have been reading lately. I've read some more books lately but I'm not 100% sure they were good enough to recommend (to be honest I'm not sure if everything I listed above was either), will think about them some more probably.
The one I am currently reading will probably make the cut (although the romantic subplot is creepy) but I'm only 2/3rds of the way through.
