Can you rec me some fantasy?

I read very little fantasy (except for Ursula LeGuin and Lord of the Rings) but I know many of my trusty Friends do read it (and even write it).

So can you rec me a novel or two, bearing in mind I am a novice to the genre? (And kind of resistant to the sub-Tolkienesqueness of it all but open to persuasion!)

Oh yes, and I know naominovik's books, *g*.

It seems that I have invented a fantasy plot bunny despite myself and now I feel I need to do some research into the genre!
