May be just lingering fondness from my childhood, but David Eddings' Belgriad, Mallorean, Elenium, and Tamuli series were all great.
For anyone interested in low magic fantasy, Jennifer Fallon's Second Sons trilogy was very good.

Where a lot of people get their fantasy start from DragonLance and Forgotten Realms, Eddings is where I got mine. I really enjoy those series, but didn't finish The Dreamers series.
I also enjoyed some of his other works like The Losers, Regina's Song and The Redemption of Althalus.
Also going to echo the negative sentiments around the Sword of Truth series. The first few were really good and then it got sermony and he started repeating plot lines which really annoyed me.
