Ahhhh, absolutely it is!

Likewise on ALL of the above!!!
Here are some other ones that have certainly transported me just as much:
Coldfire Trilogy by CS Friedman
Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone series by Greg Keyes
The Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix
The Sevenwaters Trilogy by Juliet Marillier
The Bridei Chronicles by Juliet Marillier
Ender's Game and other Ender novels by Orson Scott Card
Dune and all the other Dune series books by Frank Herbert
