I'd relate it to Donaldson's Thomas Covenant series (much better than Covenant IMO) and Cook's Black Company series more than to, say, Tolkien or Wheel of Time.

Loved the Covenant series as a teenager. Tried to re-read it a few years ago since the Last Chronicles series came out and just couldn't get into it again. Found and read his Gap Series though and enjoyed it.
Based on recommendations here, added the Magicians series to my public library list and will look at the Mazalan and Broken Empire series as well. Cycling through the 15 Asimov Foundation works (never actually read all of them), but hoping these make a nice break from Asimov. Love his stories, but I was never able to just fly through them like other authors.
