"His is the song of ice and fire."
Anyone read this series? A song of ice and fire?
If you haven't you should. I just finished the second book of the series and it's earned several stamps of approval from myself. The author is a master of baiting emotion, he changes pace and surprises me almost every chapter. Very good, you should read it. Also, people get killed in the most fucktacular of ways it brings a tear to my eye.

yeah, i'm reading that series, i like the more poltical aspects of the earlier books, as they progress it becomes more and more battle-oriented, but, i at least like that it isn't the steretypical mythical quest kind of deal for a fantasy series. i look forward to reading the 4th book.

Best. Fantasy. Series. Ever.
I love this series so much. Particularly the fact that the typical fantasy elements play such a small role in the series. Plus you have such marvelous characters as Tyrion Lannister. Great series, all in all. Veritas en Lux! Jimmy The Hutt

I agree, it is certainly one of the best fantasy series out there. I just wish GRRM would GET OFF HIS FAT ASS AND FINISH THE NEXT DAMN BOOK ALREADY!!!
Whoops, sorry. Got a little carried away there.
