Fantasy Author Name Drop

Previously (well, a few previouslies) I had mentioned some authors and series (mostly fantasy) to look into. Well, here are a few more distinguished names of the genre, who I am not that familiar with. I've never read any of their work, but heard of them by name / series. This compliments my other posts on books / fantasy series. Just putting that out there for anyone looking for something to read....

I'm not sure if any of these are 'good' (depends what you like) but here you go :

Hey Jeff! Thanks for the list. I will be keeping an eye out for more fantasy reads this year so I'll start sifting through your list here first then :) I don't know if you've read 'The Magicians' by Lev Grossman? I would describe it as Harry Potter for adults ;) Anyways, am looking for books along its lines. Really enjoyed it and now finishing off its second (and most recent) book in the series.
