Title: EXCELLENT
Product review: The odd thing about a lot of fantasy novels is that the ideas of what makes a good story do not consists of any really new ideas. The problem is trying to make them work. Game of Thrones creates a fantasy world that is full of mystery, action, intrigue, and suspense that is just plain fun to read. So many stories always have magical elements that sometimes seem to get too godlike or omnipotent at the cost of coherence. (maybe that's why it's magic eh?) Finally! It is refreshing to see a story that has magic as a strong part of the story but in a much more subtle way. No wizards blasting away at each other, but the characters all know and fear magic as something completely unknown. In short magic is actually mysterious and well, magical. Combine this with a chessgame of a story and I see an excellent series. Can't wait to read more.
