[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Lois McMaster Bujold - The Spirit Ring / Curse of Chalion

The Adventures of Miles VorKosigan must be included even of they are not Fantasy but SciFi. Miles is a wonderful hero if a bit mad.

Another SciFi series that is good if you like space opera is the Novels of the Liaden Universe by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller.

Time Travel

Suzanne Frank, (the first two are good, I think she ran out of steam on the second two.)

S.M. Stirling's "Island in the Sea of Time" series. In fact anything by Stirling is good

Pure Fantasy

The Rhapsody Trilogy by Elizabeth Haydon.

Dragon Prince and Dragon Star Trilogies by Melanie Rawn. Warning: Main characters are killed off without warning or even reason in her books.

Glen Cook’s Garret series. Hard-boiled detective stories set in a magical world with a 1970’s flavor. For those who like something just a little different.
