A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 1)1512 reviews
George R.R. Martin

Spectra, 2002

Absolutely among the best I've read. Edgy stage-setting adventure creates an intriguingly cruel world

+ Brilliant start of a great series
+ A great start to a great series

This book was recommended by a friend. I have since recommended it (and the series) to anyone with a bend for fantasy, fiction, political scheming, and/or adventure. Buy it, read it, then spread it. You will not be disappointed...unless of course adult themes and content offend you.

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2007

Girlfriend made me read it...

+ Amazing!
+ Not as good, but needed

I started this series at my girlfriend's recommendation. I was afraid it would be like those Danielle Steele books. But it was surprising. This particular book in the series starts tying up some loose ends and I have already bought the 4th book in the series to read next.
  
  











  



  
Black Powder War (Temeraire, Book 3)50 reviews
Naomi Novik

Del Rey, 2006

I'd like our world better if there were dragons.

+ Adventure and characters

The third book in the Temeraire series was better than the second but still not quite as enjoyable as the first; I think it's a natural progression, since the first book is fun because it is nice and uncomplicated, like Temeraire himself, and the subsequent books naturally get much more complicated ...
  
  











  



  
The Mageborn Traitor (Exiles, Vol. 2)127 reviews
Melanie Rawn

DAW, 1998

More than a bit disappointing

Melanie Rawn leaves too much undone in this novel, and makes the long wait we've endured for "The Captal's Tower" all the more aggravating. Too much is left open....what about the defective babies that are born and spirited away (which would expose the system of Tiers as ineffective), the true ...

A Feast for Crows (A Song of Ice and Fire)764 reviews
George R.R. Martin

Spectra, 2007

One of the greatest Epic stories ever written.

+ Subdued, but still very good
+ it's now late 2008

Maybe the best story I've ever read. Epic in span. The books look intimidating in size, but they read fast. There are no good guys and bad guys, just characters with their own motivations. At the end of the first book, I had my favorite character and my most hated characters(two brothers); at ...

Melanie Rawn

DAW, 1995

Anoher excellent begining to an extraordinary series.

+ Warning: She's not going to finish the series

Rawn draws you into each scene, crafting the pages in the book as some would sculpt. I laughed, I cried and I will always be a Rawn fan.

Hook, line and sinker!

+ Love it and can't put it down

I'm sitting at my desk at work rocking back and forth in my chair, partly because of a caffeine buzz, but mostly because of the anticipation I feel about the Twilight movie coming out this Friday. I'm 32 years old and I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm absolutely in love with the entire series. ...
