I tried reading King's 'Eyes of the Dragon,' just to see what his fantasy stories are like. Sad to say, but I got bored of it so quickly I didn't finish chapter 1. I literally fell asleep.
I'm more of a fantasy guy. I've got two series to recommend.
The Obsidian Mountain Trilogy, by Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory, and the Noble Dead Saga by Barb and JC Hendee.
Obsidian Mountain trilogy is long (Like, 850 pages or so each book) but is an amazing high fantasy epic featuring some of the darkest, most powerful, and most obscene villains I've ever read of.
The Noble Dead Saga's books are easier to digest (~400 pages to a book) but it's also got more books. They're a mix between High Fantasy and Dark Fantasy, and that's one of the things I love about it: Elves, Dwarves, Sylphs, Lava people, Merfolk, AND Vampires, Ghosts, Zombies, etc. And all of it ties into a dark, overarching narrative regarding the state of the world and the gods and beings beyond it.
