I have already read some excellent suggetions. Here's some of mine:
The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb (the Lifeship Trilogy is excellent as well)) The Many-Colored Land series by Julian May Imajica by Clive Barker
Don't bother with the Ice and Fire series by GRR Martin. The first three books are good and the rest is meh. As per the fourth book, an entirely new set of characters and storylines were introduced, without actuallly finishing the story after the first three books. The story will not be finished and that's a bummer. Life's too short and there's too much better stuff out there.
Robin Hobb's books are my favorite series of all time, probably across all forms of media too, highly highly highly recommend
I read the farseer trilogy last year and… man it’s a tough read. Not because of the writing - I was blown away by the prose, it is incredibly evocative - but just because they’re so relentlessly harsh.
Still taking some time off before any further Hobb books for that reason alone.
