This was mentioned, but very vaguely, and I believe it deserves more attention.

I would definitely recommend author Terry Brooks' Shannara series:

The First King of Shannara
The Sword of Shannara
The Elfstones of Shannara
The Wishsong of Shannara

There's also four other books from Part II to the Shannara series. His newest completed series (Part III) is The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara and the books that make up that trilogy are:

Isle Witch, Antrax and Morgawr

The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara is the best trilogy I've ever read. It's Lord of the Rings with a better romance and magic based plot. I own the whole set and read them over and over again I love them so much! I promise you might be tempted to rethink your Fantastical devotion. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Good luck!
