Favourite fantasy authors?

BIL bought me Armageddons Children (Terry Brooks) for Christmas and I just read it last weekend, its the first Terry Brooks that I've read and I loved it. Its the first book I've read in a while, and I raced out to buy the second book in the series yesterday. Its supposed to be a trilogy but so far I'm wondering how it will be wound up in only 3 books.

I noticed today at the airport that Feist has a new book out on his latest series.
I hope it was lol, I didn't have a chance to stop and have a proper look.
It should be book three, I can't think of the name off hand.
have to add it to the list of things to read.

unfortunately for me I've started at Uni doing a Masters degree so reading has been limited to text books in the last couple weeks.

edit: I had to google as it was driving me nuts that I couldn't remember the title. Its "Wrath of a Mad God" Book 3 of the Dark War Saga.

Thanks for the update, I have been hanging out for that one!

After saying I haven't been reading much, I've just finished reading (in the last 3 days hehe) Winterbirth by Brain Ruckley.

It's a pretty good read, a bit slow going in the first 50 or so pages, alot of story setting up and religious dogma to get sorted but it really comes together in the end.
Series is very promising and may even be as good as Fiest or George RR Martin. His writing style is very different to them both though.

Book 2 Bloodheir is out June/July so I am adding it on my list of things to read.

Woweee - I just finished the Tawny Man trilogy by Robin Hobb!

Loved it every bit as much as The Liveship and The Farseer trilogies too. I'm a bit sad, I'm going to miss everybody.....

I felt exactly the same Lulu.
Very sad to say good bye to them all.

I've started on Soldier Son Series by Hobb now though and that is just as good!

I have just finished reading the Glory Isles trilogy by Glenda Larke - another great read.

I was about to say that it seems that I'm going to love every fantasy series written by a woman, but then I remembered the long hard slog through Cecilia Dart-Thornton's work, and ugh! Never again!

I'm about to start on the Trinity series from Fiona McIntosh - anyone else read it? I still have so many books here that I haven't read yet - So many books, so little time!
