Take this with a hefty grain of salt, cuz I read it when I was maybe 15, but I *really* liked the Rose of the Prophet trilogy by Weis & Hickman (and a quick check of the reviews suggests that even post-larval humans have quite enjoyed them.) There's a lot going on in the books, but one of the parts I remember best is a big great mystery: the immortal servants of the various gods are disappearing - djinn and angels and the whole lot - and without them, the order of the world is falling apart. I believe that involves a Lost City of the Immortals at some point, but it's been so long that I've forgotten the particulars. You might like to check out a few reviews and see if it matches with what you've enjoyed before - I may have to go pull my copies off the shelf again in the meantime!
The City of Dreaming BooksI feel like there is other lost place fantasy I should be able to think of, but it's eluding me. Oh yeah, The Porcelain Dove. Still more. If I think of it I'll post it.
I should note that neither of those read much like Rothfuss at least.
There might be something here you'd like: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php...Apologies in advance if you start following threads and end up three hours later entertained but exhausted. TV Tropes does that to you.
I'm a fan of that as well, I think you'd like Acacia: The War with the Mein. It's the first book in a trilogy and all three books are out, so that's a nice bonus.
Thx 4 the great recommendations! I really apriciate that!I am going to try out all of them :)
I'd recommend reading the Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson and also The Dark Tower series by Stephen King..

I just finished reading the two books of patrick rothfuss and peter v. brett.
Now I am looking for books like these.
What I really like about fantasy books are for example old lost cities (like the mines in LoTR) or old lost secrets. Like when there is a long lost book, or long lost magic in ancient ruins. Stuff like that :)
Maybe there are some books you can recomend?
That would be really great!
Thx A lot!
