Title: Superb fantasy - akin to the Wheel of Time
Product review: There are those who find Robert Jordan's writing less than stellar. I don't count myself among their ranks. What Jordan's books do well (rather, more than well) is tell an evocative story that draws us into another world.George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire does the same. His characters (and there are many) are drawn in deep relief, even the best is a deeply flawed (and hence, fundamentally human) individual. The story arc concerns an island kingdom, with thousands of years of feudal history. The book teems with clansmen, leigelords, vassals, and slaves - alliances are formed and shattered.Ultimately, if you are looking for a good read, you could do far, far worse.
