Any suggestions for decent fantasy novels? Joe Abercrombie, Brandon Sanderson, David Gemmell, David Eddings style of thing. (Not Glen Cook which is often recommended but I didn't really like for some reason.)

This seems to be an area which is just full of shit on Amazon now. New authors with glowing reviews, from what I assume are their mates, but read like they were done by a child.

There is a new Abercrombie series, 2nd one's just come out I think.

Have you read Ruin of Kings by jenn Lyons? That was pretty good.

I'm guessing you've also ticked off Name of Wind and Wise Man's fear by Patrick rothfuss?

Last thing that pops to mind, Earthsea Quartet by Ursela Le Guin.

As an absolute wild card, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell is excellent, if a slow start for most people.

I second the Earthsea books. Fantastic
I also really enjoyed Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell a lot.
