I really liked AFFC actually, but I'm getting extremely pissed off at the waiting times between books. At this rate I'm not expecting the series to ever get finished.
I really liked the first two books of The First Law, but for some reason I stopped reading about halfway through the third. I don't know why; I didn't dislike it or anything. I probably just got distracted by a bunch of other stuff.
A series I'm surprised no one has mentioned yet is Discworld. It's not exactly a standard fantasy series since it uses common fantasy tropes to satirise the real world, but it's one of the longest running series that has actually managed to maintain a high level of quality throughout its entire existence, and it gains points for not taking itself too seriously.
I used to read Dragonlance but I haven't read any of the new series that have come out since Amber and Ashes, and don't really feel like I'm missing anything either.
I'm currently reading Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series, which mixes modern urban fantasy with noir detective fiction. It's light entertainment, but it succeeds admirably at what it sets out to do.
I also agree with Bunny about Salvatore and Rothfuss. Though I haven't read any of Salvatore's works since the trilogy that began with The Thousand Orcs either.
