No idea what you've read but...

- Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix
- All of Tamora Pierce's Stuff (personal favorite has always been her Protector of the Small series)
- Started reading the Kushiel series recently and I've really liked those
- Terry Pratchett's witches books (Wyrd Sisters, Witches Abroad, Lords and Ladies, Maskerade, Carpe Jugulum), and then also his Tiffany Aching books which sort of fall under the "witches" books, and then also Monstrous Regiment

And then also a pseudo-rec, my sister has been harping at me to read the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson. Apparently they are amazing and I am missing out.

Read all of those actually, except Mistborn. Will have to check that out.

Haha, yeah... I really should read some newer stuff. I tend to watch + craft vs read these days.

I'd almost recommend the Black Magician Trilogy by Trudi Canavan? It's a bit older too, though less know so you might not have read it. It's one major flaw is that the author originally only wanted to write it as a two book series, but her publishers forced her to pad it out into three... and it shows.

I tend to skip the first book because it's mostly world-building + set up. And then I read the second and the third books while skipping every chapter that's from the PoV of this side character. She gave him this sailing side plot that ends up being kind of useless overall; it's literally just padding. Which is a shame because the rest of the material is so good.
