Have you read any books by Terry Brooks? He has a few trilogies/ series out.

 

I have recently read 'The Sword of Shannara' myself and have 'The Elfstones of Shannara' to read soon. His Landover series looks interesting too.

 

Link to his website and list of his books incase you are not familiar with them:

Thanks for the advice. Read some reviews. Can't say I've heard of him before now. Usually i just go into the book shop and take a pick at whatever catches my eye and gives a decent review.

 

Ordered the sorwd of shannara on Greenmet there now, going to give it a go.
