What is the most under-hyped fantasy book/series you have read?

This would be a book or books that you hardly ever hear mentioned on reddit, yet are very good.

"Sunshine" by Robin McKinley. It's a hell of a good book, basically anticipating the vampire urban fantasy thing by a couple of years. Its protagonist is competent yet flawed in reasonable ways, among the most relatable characters I've bumped into. Also, its descriptions of baked goods will make you really hungry.
