Sword of truth series is awesome, I'd also look at The Wheel of Time series, and Lords of the Land series.

Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Series

i asked me i say quit fantasies and come to the real world ! anyway this what u finally gotta do
!!!

I would suggest:

The Black Magician Trilogy by Trudi Canavan
The Cloudmage Trilogy by S.L. Farell

A Song of Ice and Fire series-George RR Martin
^this so hard. Dont touch anything if you havent read that series yet. It blows everything else away, dead serious.


Wheel of time is fun, but
The characters get annoying fast (nyvavene pulls on braid furiously for the 3000000000 time while perin whines) and the author croaked so its a 13+ book series w/o a real ending

I loved the wheel series back when I read in in the 90's, its a good series, it just gets so.....drawn out.


Another good series that reads terribly (just all over the place) but feels really satisfying is malazin book of the fallen. Several books in the series, and one or two are just flat out terrible, but when its good its really good.

Vouch. I read the drizzt trilogy that started with his living in the elf city underground years ago, it was ok. Read some of his other stuff, throwaway garbage.

You'd like Bakker's stuff.

Terry Goodkind Sword of Truth series
also Terry Brooks Shanara series
(I guess guys named Terry know how to write)

Omg, I thought we were the same person 'till you got to Harry Potter, the most over rated series ever.
