Among others I've read: Brent Weeks' Night Angel trilogy is simple fantasy fun. It's somewhat cheesy at points, sure, but it's a trilogy so it actually wraps up and ends in a reasonable amount of time. The premise is pretty good.

I just finished this one about a month ago. Not great tier, but probably the best brand new fantasy that is out if you are looking for something current.

Some other suggestions:

Weis & Hickman Dragonships of Vindras if you are looking for some more viking-like fantasy

Brandon Sanderson Stormlight Archives - not a bad read. Some characters aren't very interesting IMO, but the series pretty well done overall.

I think I saw someone mention the Terry Goodkind books. They are a little. . . .creepy IMO. If you are into the sexual fetish stuff, I guess go for it. It was enough to ruin the series for me.

You have, of course, already mentioned the Sword of Shannara books. I haven't read them in decades, but I recall enjoying them.

Mickey Zucher Reichert has some decent novels (Renshai series)

Melanie Rawn's Dragon Prince trilogy was all right - although I recall thinking these were borderline fantasy/romance novels. I haven't read it in more than a decade.

I really enjoyed the Elven Nations Trilogy by Douglas Niles. He was one of the early creators of Dragonlance & Forgotten Realms and has written many books in both series.
