I really liked Tad William's Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn series.

I found this series to be decent, but fantasy has been hard for me to read since Martin is so much better than anything else imo (I have switched to historical fiction). I read M, S & T because Martin said it was a huge inspiration for ASoIaF. Martin borrowed quite a bit from Williams. Camaris = Arthur Dayne, for example (and Thorn = Sword of the Morning). Also, Martin's use of the shifting PoV, I believe, was inspired by Williams.
