Eddings, Sanderson, Tolkien, Feist, Moon, and Hobb are also favourites of mine. One series that I particularly enjoyed that also fit in quite well with these was the Codex Alera series by Jim Butcher. It contains a mixture of some of the story elements found in each of the above mentioned authors.
"In the realm of Alera, where people bond with the furies-elementals of earth, air, fire, water, and metal-fifteen-year-old Tavi struggles with his lack of furycrafting. But when his homeland erupts in chaos-when rebels war with loyalists and furies clash with furies-Tavi's simple courage will turn the tides of war."
