Agreed on the great story part, def enjoyed it.
The Magician trilogy/4ogy by Raymond Feist is pretty goaty [and famous]. I think he's up to 17 books in that world now and some of the others are pretty good but nothing stands up to the original trilogy [they later split Magician book 1 into two books].
I'm currently re-reading it for the nth time but first in two decades. Still holds up. Everything is resolved so you don't need to commit to the later series with different characters.
Tad Williams borrowed a lot from the beginning of this series.
To his credit the main characters end up entirely different.
