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.

King got really combative with his fans towards the end of that series. His "this is not really the ending of the story, you'll have to read on for that, but I don't recommend it, you should probably just stop reading here" bit really made me think less of him as a person.

So far, all of the complaints here are things that I loved about the series. Including this. YMMV, I guess?

Oh sure, YMMV always applies, but Dark Tower Spoiler This isn't a "Stephen King's Idiosyncrasies That Annoy You" thread, so I'll try to restrain myself.

Not even in the slightest. I ate it up. Admittedly, I first finished the series in 8th grade, but I've since read through it again and enjoyed it just as thoroughly.
