I was going to rec Robin Hobb's Farseer/Liveship/Tawny Man series, as well as Sarah Monette's Melusine and sequels, but I see others have done so already. I can only second it! Very, very worth it.
To add something new, I'd also like to rec the First Law series by Joe Abercrombie. It's fantasy, not slashy, but the characters are so well written that they make up for it. I also wrote some short review-sort-of-things on my LJ for book 1, book 2, and book 3 which might or might not make any sense...
PS: I'm so bookmarking this post! I will have to check out everything people mentioned here.
