Re: Fantasy Author Recommendations
I still have yet to read the last 4 of the Covenant books, sadly (have only read the first two trilogies so far). Hope to get to that maybe next year.

I also love Donaldson's multi-volume, "Chronicles of Thomas Covenent the Unbeliever." Amazing works, the intersection of Tolkienesque holistic world-building with modern concerns of ethics, cynicism, shame, moral responsibility and the futility of power.
The language is amazing for some, but for others can apparently be off-putting, as can the anti-hero nature of the protagonist in the early books.
Have read these interconnected trilogies several times with great appreciation.
