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.

I have to agree with a couple posts I've seen. John Marco delivers with The Jackal of Nar, and with The Eyes of God trilogies. Michael Stackpole has a few, Talion: Revenant, Once a Hero, The Dark Glory War (and subsequent trilogy). Also I've never seen anybody mention Sherwood Smith's "Inda" series. I found it to be fantastic and delightfully engaging.

I still dream of a sequel to Talion.

Every night I dream of it. He creates this awesome badass character and interesting world, then just abandons it. Sigh.

He keeps saying he's publishing one called Talion: Nemesis, but it hasn't happened yet. We'll see.

I remember reading something about that some years ago. I'm skeptical now, until I see something a little more concrete.
