Dragon Bones and its sequel, Dragon's Blood by Patricia Briggs. They were surprisingly good!
Agreeing with Exer and Fayth on Goodkind. SoT was the first fantasy novel I ever read, and I thought it was so excellent mainly because someone was writing about magic! and swords! and Dragons!OMG! Rereading, it's just...not so great. The first one is all right, though predictable, but the subsequent ones get worse and worse. When your main character is regularly giving multipage monologues on the evils of Communism, it's time to step away from the keyboard...
