I grew out of Anne McCaffery as soon as I started high school and developed a taste for David Eddings, Sean McMullen, Anne Rice, Gaiman, and of course Pratchett. I'd reccomend the first two of those authors for a good fantasy read, so long as you don't mind a little scifi in Sean McMullen's writing (start with Voyage of the Shadowmoon if you're interested in him, Pawn of Prophecy if you're interested in Eddings).

I've seen them called Quartets, namely the Song of the Lioness quartet by Tamora Pierce.
