Those are really good - trilogies both. Carol Berg's is finished: Transformation, <I>Revelation, and <I>Restoration (the better one, if you made me choose). Friedman's isn't: Feast of Souls and Wings of Wrath so far.

Also good:
Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey
Daughter of the Empire by Janny Wurts & Raymond Feist

if she isn't squeamish, then also The Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop.

All the books mentioned are dark fantasy, but still fairly traditional epic fantasy.
