Currently about half finished with The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. Turning out to be one of my very favorites.
My favorite is probably the obvious Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin. Just finished book 5 A Dance with Dragons last month. VERY strong!
I consider The Legend of Huma by Richard A. Knaak a little known treasure. One of my longest standing favorites. Read it 3 times!

Name of the wind is great and the sequel is also fantastic though it could have advanced things a bit more imo.

Just picked up The Towers of Midnight (Wheel of Time Book 13) in softcover by Brandon Sanderson, I'm looking forward to reading it as Brandon's style of writing just appeals to me a whole lot more as compared to Jordan, and the story moves at a far more backbreacking pace.
I also have The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor by Robert Kirkman, Deus Ex: Icarus Effect by James Swallow, Snuff by Terry Pratchett and The Omen Machine by Terry Goodkind on the backburner.

Sorry to disappoint you, but Towers of Midnight is very reminiscent of Jordan at his worst. Since Sanderson is working off of Jordan's notes it's hard to blame him, but this book was basically 90% hand wringing and 10% action.
The Walking Dead was a good enough zombie novel, but the ending of the book really doesn't make much sense for fans of the comic books.

A good Sci-Fi suggestion, as I just came into the series is the trade pact series by Julie Czernada, I read the first one earlier in the year.Oh for a book and a shady nook ~ Jules' Book Reviews - my book review site.

Sanderson's sequel to Mistborn was poor. I've never read a book before where the author literally shoves a side character down the throats of his readers to the point where said character actually displaces the main character in importance.
P.S. Read the Omen Machine if you're a fan of Goodkind's work, but don't expect from it.

I've read the first two from the original trilogy, still haven't found the time to finish it. Brooks is good, but he has failed to capture my undivided attention like other authors have who write high and epic fantasy.Oh for a book and a shady nook ~ Jules' Book Reviews - my book review site.
