Now that the animated movie is gonna hit dvd mid january I cracked open Chronicles again just to refresh myself, despite the movie's probably suckness.  Anyways, I'm feeling in the mood for some higher brow fantasy and heard about this dude.  Anyone read Game of Thrones?  Anyone recommend it?]]>

			<![CDATA[I'm not a big sword and sorcery fan myself, and I think this series is stupendous. Stick with it and you will find yourself liking almost everyone you hate at the end of this book, and possibly hating some people you really like.<br /><br />It's heavy on medieval politics, battles, and scheming. Fantasy elements eventually come into play, but mesh seamlessly.<br /><br />It's epic in scope and adult in nature. Totally worth reading.]]>

A Song of Ice and Fire is the best fantasy series I have ever read, personally. You will probably like Game of Thrones, heh.<br /><br />Also, he's written a few other things, my favorite of which is The Armageddon Rag, which is about 60's/70's rock, Armageddon, and a journalist trying to figure it all out, great book.]]>

Definitely the best fantasy I've ever read and certainly aimed squarely at adults. Without getting too spoilerish, is it wrong that I quite like Jaime Lannister?]]>

			<![CDATA[George is the man.  It is the only fantasy series I'd recommend to people, to be honest.  It is dark, brutal and grounded in allusions to historical realism.  While there are fantasy elements, they are minimal.  Great stuff.  I enjoyed those novels more than any fantasy I've read including Tolkien, Howard and Rowling.<br /><br />George actually has had an interesting career.  He wrote for the Twilight Zone back in the day and had a sort of first career as a horror novelist back in the 80's when it was still a thriving genre in bookstores.  He's also written award winning sci-fi (multiple Hugo, Nebula, Quill and Bram Stoker awards) and some Conan stuff.<br /><br />Avatar is actually adapting his most famous horror piece, the novel Fevre Dream.  We released a review book not too long ago but the series doesn't have a definite launch date just yet.  I'm betting someone around here could post some of the gorgeous art from that book...<br /><br />Cover of the Preview:<br /><img src="http://www.avatarpress.com/2006solic/12/fevdrpsg.jpg" alt="Fevre Dream cover" >]]>

What keeps me coming back is the amount of detailed descriptions he uses of more or less mundane things that makes this world he's created into something vivid and real.  <br />As just about every person in the series I've cared about is now dead I'm trying to figure-out just where he's going with the series.  I'm starting to wonder if he knows.  I keep coming back though. <br />Samwell FTW]]>

I hate  her so much I hate about what she does, so I guess it still ties in.<br />The only character that bored me was Daenerys, and that was only until Feast for Crows, I liked her in that one... I dunno.<br />I really like that he has no problem killing someone off, I get really annoyed when a character slips by death a lot. "Stop being a pussy and kill him already."]]>

			<![CDATA[They are excellent books, I am however curious how things will hold up in the long run as we transition from War of the Roses to what, by necessity, must start to conform to a more traditional fantasy narrative in the aim of seeing a resolution.<br />We have had both a steady increase in "magic" and a clear line of development of several characters into the people, and more exactly hero's journey archetypes, they will be for the narrative to come to its end.<br /><br />This is not a complaint just an observation, and one more then in part linked to the narratives of Jon Snow and Danerys as they are clearly on parallel journeys in very classic sense, and more so are almost certainly the central characters of the entire work when all is said and done.]]>

			<![CDATA[<blockquote >eggzoomin<br />Jordan was never gonna finish, though. He reckoned there was another TWENTY books to come - even if he hadn't been ill, he was pretty old to be writing some 20 000 pages or so - old age would have got him before it finished.</blockquote><br />Word is that he was determined to have the upcoming book 12 be the final book even if it was so long they had to invent a new bookbinding process to make it. There were reports on his blog that he worked on it as much as he was able before dying, and shortly before his death spent about two hours telling a room full of people how the plot unfolds. I'm pretty confident we'll get the final book posthumously.]]>

			<![CDATA[Eggzomin I agree about Starbuck. I liked it but it seemed like his agent said "write a Sharpe novel for Americans". I would love for their to be a Sharpe novel that took place during the napoleonic wars but over here in the colonies. "Sharpe of the Mohicans" maybe?  I loved the ones about the English longbowman and the Saxons and Vikings.  It is a great way to learn about history and I have even considered doing some reanacting. I also considered doing some WW2 reanacting as a German officer but with my rather chunky build I would end up looking more like Herman Goring than Otto Skorzeny. <br /><br />The thing I don't like about most sword and sorcery books is the characters are usually way to 2 dimensional. <br />That's one thing i liked about Cornwalls Viking series is the people acted like real people. <br /><br />I would actually like to read a really well written sword and sorcery book.  Do you think Song of Fire and ice would be a good choice for someone who does not usually like the genre?]]>

			<![CDATA[<blockquote >As an afterthought, does anyone know when HBO are planning to start showing Song of Ice & Fire or Preacher?</blockquote><br /><br />Last i heard they are both "in development" - simply properties HBO has the rights too and some work has proceeded on, so a possible answer,in fact likely answer, is never. A few years away at the earliest if they happen. Judging by comments made by Ennis and Martian, Preacher is in more active development by far.]]>

			<![CDATA[Robin Hobb is an excellent writer, I really enjoyed the Farseer Trilogy and have read bits and pieces of her later work.<br /><br />One High Fantasy Author I would recommend as extremely good is R. Scott Bakker:  The Darkness that Came Before, The Warrior Prophet, and The Thousand Fold Thought.  It is a complete trilogy, but I really hope he has some more to write about these characters.  It is just really deep, epic worldbuilding of the best sort.<br /><br />I am going ot have to read the Song of Fire and Ice, series though I will admit to being leary of starting a series that isn't finished yet.]]>

He is doing I think another trilogy and a set of short stories in the same world, roughly the same timeframe.

Constantine the Movie!<br />Still there are people out there who could do a good job. No I have been hurt to many times.<br /><br />Good catch Elohim about Redcoat. I forgot that Lassan was Sharpes kid.  It was thinking of him as french that threw me off.<br />Are there any other authors who do history as well as Cornwell?]]>
