If this series is anything like BSG in a fantasy setting I would be extremely happy. I actually expect it to be even better though since it's supposedly based on a better story. Read it up to (including) The Clash of Kings. After that it gets drawn out and really boring (The Storm of Swords was a big letdown for me and I ceased reading it afterwards). | ||

If you have the time you should definitely read it before. | ||

Certain chapter arcs (the Dorne ones specifically) are quite good, but others are just pointless without knowing what happens in Dance. | ||

Different Author huh? I didn't get that. I actually enjoyed it, but it's hard to compare to the other books because it doesn't have the Daenerys or Jon storylines which are what I look forward to the most. It deals with the more "trivial" sub-plot of the Lannisters and all that, but I still enjoyed the Tyrion chapters and even the Jaime ones. | ||

The Wheel of time series, can at times be alittle drawn out. After Robert Jordans death, Brandon Sanderson have taken over the series and written the 12th a 13th book in the series, the13th "Towers of Midnight" have just come out. A few people have been told me, that the last two books is absolutely spectacular and definately the best in the series. | ||

I started reading the series last weekend and am now most of the way through Clash of Kings. I like the books, but holy crap does it take forever for there to be any kind meaningful resolution to anything. In fact, I still don't really know who the main protagonist is + Show Spoiler + My guess is Jon Snow What exactly is the point of Bran? Why is Catelyn a central character as opposed to Robb? | ||
