Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicles, first book The Name of the Wind is excellent. It is the best fantasy I've read not called A Song of Ice and Fire.

I also really enjoyed The Lies of Locke Lamora Scott Lynch. As already posted Malazan Book of the Fallen is good but is a commitment. That shouldn't be a problem though since you enjoyed Wheel of Time.

R.A. Salvatore's Drizzt books are also outstanding.

Totally agree on the Michael Moorcock Elric of Melnibone series.

Also,if you want some incredible writing, with an anti-hero unlike any other, read The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant by Stephen R Donaldson. It's two Trilogies, and I highly recommend them.

I loved the Farseer Trilogy, but I read the Soldier Son Trilogy right after it and really didn't like it at all. I gave it a chance all the way until I was halfway through the last book, and just quit which I don't EVER do.

It must have really turned to shite for you to get that close to the end and throw in the towel

In season 5 now, and that show is freaking amazing.

And no, it didn't really get any worse, but I kept thinking itt would get better, but I really didn't like any of the books at all.

Sword of Truth series is great


I really enjoyed that series. Just felt that the last few books were way too repetitive. I'd read it again though. Goodkind is a very descriptive writer.
