Michelle West's Sun Sword series, and the duology that preceeded it, can't quite recall the names at the moment, is the best series I've read in many a year.

The Elric series, by Michael Moorcock is my favorite series of all time.
The guy has a sword that eats peoples souls. It doesn't get any better than that.

The Book of Swords series by Fred Saberhagen is also good. The gods creates 12 swords with different magical powers, and then place them in the world to see what kind of chaos it creates.

The Lies of Locke Lamora is pretty good and it has the benefit of being a single book.

If you like magic, a good series is Master of the Five Magics by Lyndon Hardy. It goes very in depth into all the different schools of magic.
