The Kingkiller Chronicles is my favorite series by far.

I just finished reading The Chronicles of the Black Company by Glen Cook, which is a fantastic series about a mercenary company written from the point of view of the companies chronicler. It's a combination of a dark fantasy and an epic fantasy, but each chapter is rather short so you can really cruise through each book.

I'm currently reading the Night Angel trilogy by Brent Weeks. This is a series about a young boy how trains to become an assassin for the organized crime group in his city so he can escape his current life as a street urchin. There's magic, assassinations, and schemes, everything you would expect from a fantasy novel about an assassin. But where this series really shines in my opinion is it tell the story on a very personal level, the main character really regrets the man he becomes to escape the streets. It really tugs on the heart strings, which is not something you would expect from an assassin. So far it's turning out to be an awesome read.
