Epic Fantasy

Hey all, I'm looking for an epic fantasy series that has all the staples: wizards, magic, epic adventure, and possibly some dragons and elves

I've been going to the library and randomly selecting a series, only to usually find out that the praise is exaggerated and the fantasy isnt there. I need something with imagination.

So far I've LOVED The Runelords, if you haven;t read it, do so. But I'm on the last book, and I need something new.

Basically, epic fantasy discussion thread

Why don't you read something that's actually good instead?
