OMG! Love Tamora Pierce!
Here's the recommendations I normally make
1) Kushiel's series - Jacqueline Carey (all of them, she has three triologies, but be warn there is sexual content, but it's done very tastefully- book is considered science fiction NOT romance/smut)
2) The Mistborn Triology - Brandon Sanderson (he's the one who was finishing the Wheel of Time series, though was already a serious author in his own right, needless to say amazing work)
3) The Song of Fire and Ice- George RR. Martin (I know this was already on someone's list but it can't be recommended enough, but be ready to devote some serious time.)
4) Outlander series - Diana Gabaldon (historical fiction starting from the scottish war of independence and then going on to the American revolution, kind of a romance but I love history so went for it)
On my list to read:
1)Stormlord Triology - Glenda Larke - (on book 3 of 3, been very good so far)
2) Broken Empire Triology - Mark Lawerence-( I haven't read this but it's been on several lists, it's supposed to be a very dark triology, excited to get to it)
But nothing holds a place in my heart like...
Harry Potter!
Severus Snape is the best and I loved him since book one..don't judge!
