Any good, fairly clean fantasy fiction reads?
I'm looking for some good fantasy fiction novels. Does anyone know any good YA reads? I mark these because sometimes they have less sexuality than those intended for adults. I'm bored of reading about bare bodies and lusting in those books.
I'm open to adult fantasy fiction, too, but only if I can be assured that the sexuality is kept to a minimum. I'm not a prude or anything, but, really, I want to read about magic and action. If I wanted to read porno, I'd tune my reading accordingly.
Thanks, all. And thanks, bekajwp, for pointing out about reading the question carefully. Please, folks, I'm looking for books with the LEAST amount of sexuality possible! The cleaner the better, thanks.

Woah, whoever recc'd Anne Bishop, Diane Gabaldon, Anita Blake and Jacqueline Carey didn't read the question o.0 Sex is a major part for all of those series.
David Eddings - Belgariad and Mallorean books, good reads and clean.
Piers Anthony - The early Xanth books, say 1-8. If sex is mentioned it's in a 'teehee panties' way.
Naomi Novik - her Napoleonic-dragons series is clean as I recall
Garth Nix - Abhorsen trilogy, excellent books and also clean.
