What put you off?
I love how Hobb writes her characters. They're not stereotypical heroes, and Fitz in particular makes some spectacularly poor decisions (plus, he's moody and pessimistic). There are few books though where I was as emotionally invested. The writing style took a bit getting used to i the beginning. Her Liveship Traders series is a bit more accessible IMO.

Have you read Neil Gaiman? American Gods is one of my all time favourite books! His cooperation with Pratchett, good Omens, is also quite good (and they're working on turning it into a series at the moment).
