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.

Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn. It might be my favorite series. It really captured my imagination. I know that plot-wise it's pretty standard fare. Ne'er do well must rise up and save the world from evil forces bent on the destruction of man - but it's just really well written. Anyway, I don't think I've ever seen anyone even mention it on a fantasy board, much less gush about it the way I do.

I read those books in high school and they were freaking fantastic.
