Last comic con I went to my husband actually got into an agrument with some guy about how it was the greatest series ever. I kind of stood in the way and listened. I ended up reading the the series he recomended. The First Law series by Joe Abercrombie.... while the first 3 books of the The First Law are good, the side books probably make the series better. One that that makes me mad, and probably one of the reason why I have began getting pissed off at the series. I started reading Game of Thrones in 1998 in my senior year of high school. Martin takes his damn time writing, and he openly admits its becaue he has other projects going on at the same time. He has stated that its not unsusal for him to be co-writing 2 bookts, writing a graphic novel, and (more recently) doing tours. He only spends a few hours a week writing the ASOIAF series. And what worries me, with 2, possibly 3 more books to be released, we may never see them. He is 64 years old and in poor health. His last two books to 5 years, then 6 years to write. (Notice before book 3 they were spread 2 years apart, partially because his fame and success lead him to take on more work). If Tthe Winds of Winter takes 5 years to make from 2011, your talking about 2017 ( He will be 67 years old) and then 2023 for A Dream of Spring, he will be pushing 72 years old...... we may never actually see the end of this book series. It just frustrates me as a fan... and let me say. I am a fan. Weather it is the best fantasy book series may be an agrument that we dont want to get into. While I like to say I think its a great fantasy novel for people who like complex stories and fantasy where its not "too fantasy" for people just getitng into the genre. I highly recomend the First Law Trilogy, then the subseqeunt side stories by Joe Abercrombie. The book Best Serve Cold is probably the best book I ever read.... | |||
