I haven't read so many epic series, but I'll list the ones I have in my order of preference to give you an idea of what I like. Any help?
1. Malazan Book of the Fallen (loved the characters to death, I got past the terrible storytelling that left massive gaps and confusion in its wake)
2. Wheel of Time
3. Game of Thrones
4. Dark Tower (didn't like the modern-day reality tie-ins)
5. Riftwar Saga (I thought all of the characters were flat and the storylines were extremely predictable)
6. Sword of Truth (Only read the first book, never got into it - not interested)
