Personally, I preferred the "Night Angel" series by Weeks. If you're really into magical fantasy you should really give "The Name of the Wind," the first book in the "Kingkiller Chronicles" by Patrick Rothfuss a go. If you like your fantasy dark, I'd recommend the "Low Town" series by Daniel Polansky and/or "The Gentleman Bastard" series by "Scott Lynch."

Thanks for the advice.  I will definitely look for all of those writers, though I'm not going to stop with the current series either.

I don't know what "dark" fantasy is, but I sure like the sound of it.

The last two I listed are part of a sub-genre called "grimdark." Grimdark is just that, grim and dark.

Finished listening to "The Buried Giant" by Kazuo Ishiguro. Absolutely splendid fantasy tale that takes many familiar elements and blends them into one very good story. This one was so good, I'll probably read the ebook in a week or two so that I can pick up on the little details I miss listening to audio books.
