I definantly would reccomend Ian Irvine, start with the first series of The View from the Mirror. I loved them. Dh and I would fight over who got to read the next one. He then has a second series years in the future and a third series which he hasnt finished yet.

The Stephen King dark tower series I am having trouble getting DH to read those aswell. I have read them all and I must admit the first book is really boring the second gets better, but then you get really involved after that. It is a challenge but well worth it in the end.

Goodluck, there are sooooo many choices out there.
