[QUOTE=Uncle Pony]George R.R. Martin - A Song of Ice and Fire. The best fantasy series I've read to date. As long as he stays on the same track I'll definately be buying the rest. Book #4 (A Feast For Crows) is out in October and you can preorder it now. He's supposed to finish it up with no more than seven books total.

He really needs an editor to cut him down. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying he is rubbish. He's not. He writes good stories with some well done characters and decent descriptions. There are so many lesser players I just loose track even with the lists of names and descriptions of who they are.
That in itself tells you something about the books. Not their depth. Don't mistake length for depth. But after reading the first couple of hundred pages of one I read to the end and then thought shall I buy the next one???
the answer was yes and I still haven't read it (lying on the shelf for a year begging me to turn it's cute pages but I ain't being used like that)
