The West Passage by Jared Pechacek

 The guardian's heir leave the Grey Tower to tell the Black tower that doom is coming. Then a girl eaves the grey tower to ask the balk tower to restore summer. The landscapes they separately travel through and the people they meet are bizarre and phantasmagoric - these changes are wonderfully weird and creative to read.

The Eye of the World, Book one of the Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan

  Moiraine Damodred arrives in Emond’s Field on a quest to find the one prophesized to stand against The Dark One, a malicious entity sowing the seeds of chaos and destruction. When a vicious band of half-men, half beasts invade the village seeking their master’s enemy, Moiraine persuades Rand al’Thor and his friends to leave their home and enter a larger unimaginable world filled with dangers waiting in the shadows and in the light. Book was a little slow in getting started. Many characters with unusual names and a lot of world building. Things picked up after the first few chapters. Very reminiscent of Lord of the Rings. Good character development and good description of the characters epic journeys.
