Book recs?

So, given that some of you have been with me for a while and know what I like as far as reading goes: Should I give the following authors a look-see to find out if they’re any good?

• Elizabeth Haydon

• Terry Goodkind
• Robin Hobb
• Raymond E. Feist
• Terry Brooks

  I get the Terrys confused, BTW. One of them I know I’ve heard is something of a Tolkien rip-off, which doesn’t really inspire me to great thoughts. Do you like any of these particular authors? Do you dislike any of them? Tell me why I should read their books and why I shouldn’t.
