Have you read Patricia Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles (Dealing with Dragons, etc.)? Lewis' "Till We Have Faces" is where I got my nickname from, and it's a very good book. Anything by Ursula LeGuin is good, and Madeleline L'Engle's early work (A Wrinkle in Time, etc.) is excellent.
And I know you asked for fantasy, but I just can't bring myself to leave this wonderful Sci-Fi out: Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, the sequels, and the parallel books. Just excellent.
If I think of anything more, I'll be sure to tell you.
