The Mortal Instruments are great books, and I agree about the Eragon books, they are getting worse.

Two series that are worth a look at are the Coldfire Trilogy (Science fiction theme, but has some 'magic' in it), and His Dark Materials (Science fiction again, but definitely one of the best - love the Daemon theme in it).

Coldfire trilogy is a very mature series though, so some might find it tedious or a little explicit.
