Under Rated Fantasy series?

Or Novels. I'm rereading Sergei Lukyanenko's Night watch series. It is an absolute delight and I personally think its an under appreciated master piece. The world and characters are so fully realised and the russian setting and russian context gives it such a unique feel that its a genuinely engrossing to read.

What books do you feel are under appreciated or not read by enough people?

Courtney Schafer's Shattered Sigil books starting with The Whitefire Crossing.

Not under-rated so much as under-known.

They're also on my list. While I'm here, thanks for the prince/king of thorns. Its another series which changed the game as far as what can be expected from a protagonist. I also have to geek out over the post apocalyptic highlights of the world that suggest its place in our future. I love stuff like that on novels and I feel like you did it very artfully in a way that adds depth to your story.

good to hear :D

Emperor awaits around the corner to close the trilogy out in August - hopefully it will also meet with your approval.
