The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind.
I got the first book last year (properly last year, not like 5 days ago) called Wizards First Rule. A little slow to get going but then it really, really picks up into a great story that keeps the suprises and suspence coming.
Now I've just finished the second one: Stone of Tears (I got it for X-Mas along with the 2 following)
i was quite suprised, but it far outshines the first. Everything seems to be so impossible - the odds of the good winning out against evil.
And, get this,
*Dum-dum-duuuum*
A tear came to my eye on a few occasions.
That's never happened before.
And this book has now become my favorite book ever. Ever. Screw LOTR, this kicks its hoity-toity bootang.
By the way, it's fantasy adventure - but read it even if you like anything else.
Sorry for the rushed topic, but I'm just full of that feeling you get when you finish a great book. And that was a really great book.
READ IT.
Fools.
And what's more, there another 5 books in the series for me to read!
Gotta get going.
So have you all,
I recomend it with my life,

I've always said LOTR was the best, and always will be, even before the movies. The movies added even more to it. I've read a few fantasy trilogies, and they're all just hoping ot be this centuries LOTR - there never will be another story like that, ever - partly because Tolkien, at first, never intended them to be what they became.
Come on though, we're talking about a story of good vs evil with the fate of mankind resting on the winner, and the good sides best hope is hobbit and his companion ! Best.Story.Ever.

Just about to start reading Terry Goodkind's series, just finished the latest book from Raymond E. Feist (Talon of the Silver Hawk), waiting for Anne McCaffrey next release (hopefully one of the Pern series), aswell as the next book in the DragonLance series by Weis and Hickman and Kathren Kerr's next book
Trust me, it can.
I really didn't want to say it, but it does.

No fantasy adventure can touch LOTR.
