New Series Please

I'm after another seriesto read. Like every one else I've done Feist, Hobb, Kerr and McCaffrey stuff and I'm looking for recommendations. If it helps my favourite author right now is Anne Bishop (have read them all and am dying for the next installment). Thanks

Janny wurts - Curse of the Mistwraith

Trudi canavan - The Magicians guild or Priestess of the White

C J Cherryh - Fortress in the Eye of time

There's a few weeks worth of reading top class 'high' fantasy series. All are at least trilogies, some longer. I've touchstoned the first book in the series.

Jim butcher - Storm Front for a more urban fantasy approach.

David Gemmell - far too many series' to list the starting books, but a lot of high fantasy. the classic is legend.

Mercedes Lackey gets a lot of high aclaim too, I've only read the one the Black Gryphon which I wasn't blown away with, but it isn't apparently her best.

If you like Anne Bishop, you might want to give Jacqueline Carey a try: I very much like her first Kushiel trilogy, Kushiel's Dart, Kushiel's Avatar, and Kushiel's Avatar. She's started a second Kushiel series, beginning with Kushiel's Scion, which looks promising.

I like Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar series, although I didn't care for the Gryphon trilogy, and I never went past The Black Gryphon. I would suggest trying Magic's Pawn, the beginning of the Last Herald-Mage series, or Arrows of the Queen, the beginning of the Heralds of Valdemar series.

You might also like Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover books, although they skew more towards science fiction and it's hard to recommend a starting point. There are a few omnibus books that might work as an intro to her world, The Saga of the Renunciates, To Save a World, or A World Divided.

Simon R. Green has a Nightside series which i think is around 6/7 books right now the first one is Something From The Nightside really, really, good.

If you can handle a series that isn't finished yet and with no specified date for the next installment, try George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series. I've noticed that quite a few Robin Hobb fans besides myself seem to like him.

I'm rereading David Farland's Runelord series since a new one's just out. The first is The Runelords: The Sum of All Men. I've enjoyed them.

An older series and harder to track down is the Sheri Tepper True Game series.
9 books in the series. 3 trilogies.
Chronological order is Mavin, her son Peter, then Jinian. The last two trilogies cross over and show events from their different points of view.

Publication order was Peter, then the back story of Mavin his mother interspersed with Jinian's which took the series timeline to the finale.

They're short novels (written before the now common more-words-per-novel) expectation but judging from your list of reading, there's some ideas you may like.

I don't want to give spoilers so won't give too many clues. However when you start reading these stories, you're thrown you into their world and it's assumptions and differences from some traditional fantasy. You learn about the world through their eyes as you go. The novel doesn't stop to spell it out to you. Similar to how Anne Bishop did with the Black Jewels trilogy.
Definitely not as 'lush' as Bishop or Carey though.

Actually, even better match may be the Sharon Lee and Steve Miller Liad series. I think you'd like them.
They're more science fiction in setting (not fantasy) but the story focuses on their very structured structured Liaden society. The way the protagonists strike their own paths against the usual traditions whilst still maintaining their 'clan' history and allegience is a strong theme running through the stories. And then there's metapsychicness, humour, romance and adventure themes which link to the other authors you've been reading.
Oh and the family crest is a Dragon... :-)

If you like Robin Hobb, then take a look at Jennifer Fallon -- she writes really great, chunky fantasy that has the same sort of political sub-plots as Hobb. My fave Jennifer Fallon series is Second Sons, the first novel is called Lion of Senet.
