Default OT: good fantasy books

I wanted to share a few series that I found pretty good that maybe are off the beaten path a bit. So I will avoid the usual and obvious references to Wheel of Time, Tolkien, Feist etc.


1. "When True Night Falls" Trilogy. C.S. Friedman. Technically science fiction, but it is fantasy at heart. Magic and swords. It has a slow start, but has to lay the background. But it picks up fast, and is top notch fantasy.

2. "The Last Apprentice".Joe Delaney. 2 books so far more to come. A little bit spooky. Good read.

3. Magic's Pawn series by mercedes lackey. This is a good trilogy, but it is not for the homophobic. Main character is gay. But good sword and sorcery.
