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.
"Goblin Quest" by Jim C. Hines (first in a series. Trilogy?)
"Sir Apropos of Nothing" by Peter David (first in a series. Finished trilogy.)

"Goblin Quest" follows the typical adventuring party from the perspective of Jig, a goblin, who is kept busy trying to stay alive and save his home from invaders. Humorous and well written.

"Sir Apropos of Nothing" isn't for everyone. The series follows the 'anti-hero' who people either love or hate. It's also highly satirical in nature. Books in this series start off on humorous note, such as the parody of Lord of the Rings in the second book, but somehow manage to sneak a serious and moving plot in there when you're not paying attention.

Amazon.com has various, better written reviews. These books are off the beaten path.
