asoiaf is alright but gets boring. If you're looking for kinda trashy but still wildly successful modern fantasy then Wheel of Time is a much better comparison.
ez
wot is incredible though and decently well respected though people have problems taking the female main characters seriously
i mean for some perspective the 3 slow books of WoT were realized in 2 year gaps (the first ones about ~1 year gaps) while it took 5 years for feast for crows (lol) and 6 years for DWD
I was a huge WoT fan and I've read them all several times, but the books dragged on EVEN MORE than asoiaf which is impressive.
Yeah a lot of the women in the book are hard to take seriously, Jordan doesn't really write a lot of different characters. Also Perrin is absolutely insufferable, when I reread the books I just skip his dream chapters at this point. The dreams are like an exercise in heavy handed metaphors.
That being said the magic system in the books was super cool and I only started to really get frustrated with the series after Jordan died and Sanderson took over. The books were still ok until the ending though which was utter bullshit with way too happy and neat of an ending.
i have a bunch of tattoos from WoT including a dragon wrapped around my forearm and a heron, i'm like the biggest fanboy ever

Anyway, MTGO draft soon. Maybe I calm my nerves first with some Isaac or something.

The part I hate the most is the armpit sweat. Why does my body make me have to take a shower when all I did was sit on my butt for a few hours?
