Default Great Fantasy Authors
Who are some of the outstanding fantasy authors out there? My current favorites are George RRM, Brandon Sanderson, and Patrick Rothfuss. I'm interested in finding some of the lesser-known authors that still kick ass. Any recommendations?

Started reading the series this year, finished book two last month. I'm trying to read 2 other books in between each Wheel of Time book, so I don't get sick of the series. Pretty good so far.

Weis and Hickman (Dragonlance).

It might be D&D branded fantasy fiction, but it's really really good D&D branded fantasy fiction

Legend is a good book. I have not read his stuff in awhile, will have to go back to it.

J.V. Jones' Sword of Shadows series. Right up there with Terry Goodkind and Robert Jordan in my opinion.

David Eddings is a fun read too similar in style to Salvatore/Brooks.
