I have been reading A Song of Ice and Fire, a series of fantasy novels by George R. R. Martin. They are the basis of the HBO series Game of Thrones, which is coincidentally the name of the first book. Right now I’m reading A Feast for Crows, the fourth book out of the five that have been written. These books are huge in scope, written from the p.o.v. of many different characters... it reminds me a bit of Lord of the Rings in many respects, but is much more interesting IMHO. The best part about these novels is the element of surprise - the plot twists over onto itself so many times. And Martin is not afraid to kill off main characters; the good guys definitely do not always win in this story.
4.25 stars
