Name of the wind, heroes die, mistborn, steelheart are all first books in good series
Lies of locke lamora wasnt bad, but book 2 and 3 got boring for me. Cant think of any others atm but high fantasy is in a pretty shitty place with tons of bad authors besides a handful of them E didnt see kingkiller chronicle in op | ||

I would recommend the Gotrek and Felix series from Warhammer Fantasy. It is more a of wizards and dragons type of series. A human swears an oath to a dwarf slayer to chronicle his adventures until he meets his doom. The dwarf turns out to be nigh unkillable, and kills a lot of cool things along the way. Horus Heresy books from Warhammer 40k are awesome as well. Super elite post human warriors being commanded by even more elite demi-god creations start to conquer the galaxy in the name of human kind. Then they turn on each other and set the galaxy on fire. | |||

The Talisman by Stephen King sounds like it might be up your alley, it's a departure from his typical horror books and closer to a fantasy novel (but not really). One of my top 3 favorite books.

Hmm for something sword and sorcery like I would recommend the Elric Saga. Basically a drug addicted (keeps him alive) elf with a sword that drinks souls and shit. They are short books but a pretty decent little series.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elric_of_Melnibon%C3%A9 The Farseer Trilogy is pretty decent. Its medieval but not all that high fantasy but basically centers around a character who is being apprenticed as a royal assassin. There is more going on but thats the basics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Farseer_Trilogy If you want something different with a fantasy bent I would recommend the Dresden series of books the show the Dresden Files was based on. Modern setting but dude is a detective/magician wizard what have you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dresden_Files If you want some non fantasy recommendations I would go cyberpunk with the Sprawl Trilogy by William Gibson starting with Neuromancer or you could give Neal Stephensons Snow Crash a read. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprawl_trilogy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_Crash | ||
