Belgariad was ok, bit of a LOTR rip off. The next series The Mallorean was a bit more like hard work. I think he exhausted all of his ideas in the first series..

I really enjoyed it and it's not my go to genre, definitely preferred it over LOTR, but I can read pretty much anything. My 14 yr old has just finished it and enjoyed it, but it's a big commitment. I've only read the ones written by Robert Jordan, I don't know how well they continued after his death under a new author.

Can't message you so here's a huge post

I'm a huge Science Fantasy fan

My favourite authors:

David Eddings- Belgariad, Mallorean, Ruby Knight,Tamuli

Raymond E Feist - complete Krondor collection, its about 10 different trilogys based on same characters set in the same world.

David Gemmel - mainly Drenai Series but done others as well

Mercedes Lackey - Huge Bibliography, my favourites are Valdemar Series, Obsidian Series, Elemental Masters series but to be honest not read anything of hers I haven't liked. Way too many to give a synopsis for all of them but you can either google them or ask me about them.

Personally I liked Tad William's Otherlands series which is set in a reasonably near future and is Virtual Reality based but also draws on mythology stories especially Egyptian.

Brian Lumley's necroscope series of books is definitely my thing.

Seconding David Gemmell, also check out Tom Holt and David Wong.

If you have money to spend on a book and want a headfuck, buy House of Leaves.
