i'm looking for new fantasy and/or dark fiction recommendations. i like plots, interesting characters and/or action. something to sink my teeth into, as it were. not into books that are primarily romance or military based, and absolutely hate vampires who live in pods.

have already read and loved the sun sword series by michelle west, also love song of fire and ice, like all the eddings books, love the lloyd alexanders, enjoyed the charlaine harrises, anita blakes, the oz books, tanya huff's blood books, the various mercedes lackey series, and all the edward eagers. ah, and let's not forget neil gaiman, although his series' are 2 books long each - not enough!

i was enjoying an early terry goodkind but alas - his graphic and quite long description of torture was just too much for me, the only time violence in a book ever overwhelmed me, so i guess it was very well written.
