Looking for similar fantasy books?

I'm looking to see if there's a book similar in feel or writing style to "The Last Unicorn" by Peter S Beagle? Or even the writing of Patricia McKillip. Very dreamy, descriptive writing.

I could probably list out everything I've read, but it would be a loooong list. :D

If you have suggestions, I would appreciate them. Thanks so much!

* She was very old, though she did not know it, and she was no longer the careless color of sea foam, but rather the color of snow falling on a moonlit night. But her eyes were still clear and unwearied, and she still moved like a shadow on the sea.

* But I'm always dreaming, even when I'm awake; it is never finished.

* Your name is a golden bell hung in my heart. I would break my body to pieces to call you once by your name.

Update:

Read Song of Ice & Fire (awesome, but not the same), no interest in Twilight (or its derivatives), read Harry Potter (not the same), I've read almost all of Charles de Lint ♥, read Patricia C. Wrede, Terry Windling series, read Beauty/Rose Daughter by Robin McKinley (I'll have to check out the one u listed), read Madeline L'engle, read TH White, read Fire & Hemlock and Howl's Moving castle series

Not interested in Eragon, Percy Jackson, Narnia (read), His Dark Materials (maybe someday, film sucked), Vampire Academy, Twilight, etc...

Read George RR Martin, Robert Jordan, Tad Williams, Terry Brooks, Terry Pratchett, Terry Goodkind, Raymond E Feist, David Eddings, Jim Butcher, Patricia McKillip, Robin McKinley, Micheal Ende, William Goldman, JK Rowling, Celia Dart-Thornton, Charles de Lint, Terri Windling, Piers Anthony, Anne McCaffrey, Sharon Shinn, JRR Tolkien, and lots more :)
