re: Book recommendations for non-ASOIAF medieval fantasy?

I'm a little surprised that only one other person has mentioned Robin Hobb's assassin trilogy.

That series is solid, but it's just not going to make a top 5 or top 10 recommendation list for most people who have read a bunch of fantasy. She's a good author (outside of that one terrible series), just not really someone I would suggest unless the person had read most of the other suggestions in this thread. Pretty much the same thing for Wheel of Time.
