This is hands down the best fantasy series out there.
It's definitely the best series I have read since LotR. Martin's SoFaI is really quite good, but the two series are radically quite different.
Erikson's story is very much epic, high fantasy with an immensly immersive world dealing with magic, mortal and gods. Incredible setting with a very detailed plot.
Martn's is not quite as epic (IMO) and definitely not high fantasy (at least not what we've seen so far). But the characters are so well done it is hard not to get into the story, what the story may lack in the setting it more than makes up for it with its characters.
