wheel of time is very good but not really adult fantasy and the writing's not on the level of martin and wheel of time is currently 10 books long, each 800 or so pages, with the ending not that close, while martin's books push the action forward much faster | ||

Oh and the Earthsea books (Ursula Le Guin) had a pretty interesting, unique tone. You might like them if you liked A Wrinkle in Time. K Time for me to Stop Being an Asshat. | ||
