Specsavers me a fantasy book / series

[chimaera]

Ok a year ago i did a thread like this and was directed towards the Robin Hobb series, i absolutely loved it and are pretty keen to find something of equally good quality in the fantasy vein (no sci-fi though).

I have recently read the Trudi Canavan magicians series as well so avoid that.

I'd like to read shamans crossing but not until the small papaerback is released so avoid that too.

Come on people give me something as good as last time.

Oh and if you recommend a writer such as Feist or Gemmel then please give me a good starting point as they have so many books it becomes a bit daunting

I thought about the wheel of time series but 12 books is far too long, and i've read that it starts off great but then dwindles a bit, so thats off my list.

I've tried to read lord of the rings 3 times but i dont enjoy it at all.

don't talk soft.
do yourself a favour, read Robin Hobb's Liveship Trilogy.

Just finished reading all the 9 farseer/liveship/tawny man books, hence why i wont settle for rubbish, i need something thats as great as those

Think i'm going to have a look at the Dark Tower books and the Feist magician series, they seem to be my sort of thing, i've always wanted to read magician but the sheer volume of the thing has put me off so far.

Oh and who desecrated my thread title i think one of the dons is abusing his power! i demand justice that is swift yet brutal
