Gotta love Misty Lackey's books
, I've read all of the valdemar series, it's easier to the valdemar series in the local libraries then her otehr books somehow (except the owlflight series, not sure if that counts) loved the last herald mage series and just finished exile's valor, I'm wait for her other year 2004 books like fairy godmother to hit the local bookstores though, I've read most of her old books.
I started reading fantasy with David Eddings, for some strange reason i think "Regina's Song" was pretty spooky, even though I've read a lot of what are called thrillers..... but his most recent elder gods series has a famliar tang...
I like Nix, though I've only read the Abhorsen series and and Shade's Children...... can anyone tell me what other books he has?
Another author I got hooked on recently is Ann Bishop, I preferred her "Daughter of the Blood" series, bit dark though.
Robin Hobbs is not bad too, She only one series I think, she just finished it this year, kind of long winded, but beautiful language
