Default Fiction Fantasy Reading

I am currently reading the Soldiers Son Trilogy by Robin Hobb. I've read her other trilogies too and I've enjoyed them. I am about finished with these and was if anyone had any other recommendations?

I haven't read the Soldiers Son Trilogy yet, but I have read all the other trilogies and really enjoyed them.

Here are some other recommendations:
- George RR Martin - A Song of Ice and Fire, starting with A Game of Thrones (my favorite series, but you will have to wait a long time to finish this series. The first four books are great).
- Steven Erikson - Malazan Book of the Fallen, starting with Gardens of the Moon (only read the first book, complicated but definitely worth your time)
- Raymond Feist - The Riftwar Saga, starting with Magician (he has written a lot of books in this series, but I have only read the first three).
- Terry Pratchett - Discworld (if you like a lot of humor in your fantasy books, all books are fun to read).

And the best fantasy book I've read in a long time:
- Patrick Rothfuss - The Name of the Wind (but beware: the second book in the series is still not finished and you definitely want to read that after you finish this book).
