I can't believe that I didn't mention "The Thief" (The Queen's Thief series, by Megan Whalen Turner). I just started reading "The Crown Conspiracy" and realized that it reminds a lot of this series. It is a series marketed to YA, but in my opinion it would be more readily enjoyed by adults. The writing is superb, and the characters are fantastic. I don't want to tell you too much about the series, so as not to spoil anything for you in case you decide to read it.
I enjoyed "The Magicians" by Lev Grossman. Not the best this I read in 2010, but an enjoyable read nonetheless, and I do plan on reading the sequel when it is published. Times described it as "Happy Potter for adults", and they weren't far off. While some elements of the novel really irritated me, there were other aspects that I thought were fantastic.
