George R. R. Martin - A Song of Ice and Fire

Ahh... True love.

My first experience with this author was almost like that first date with the pefect person. You are only just discovering them and yet you can feel, deep in your soul, that it is a fabulous match. The series is, so far, as follows:

1. A Game of Thrones
2. A Clash of Kings
3. A Storm of Swords
and coming soon...
4. A Feast for Crows

Ohh, I can hardly WAIT for that 4th book!!

Anyways. Everyone who has ANY interest in fantasy who I've introduced to this series falls in love. One girl was so lovestruck she kept my copies for almost 8 months... much to my dismay.

The books are written with a different character as the viewpoint for each chapter. Most of the crucial characters have many chapters. Each book you are introduced to a new viewpoint or two, and some are taken away, and thus you have a constantly changing but still very thorough view on the world and everything that happens therein. It's a fantastic method that is hard to pull off. Martin is a literary GENIUS however and pulls it off with ease. Each book is better than the last and I encourage EVERYONE to read these...

Now I'm all in a flutter... I'd best be moving on before I faint!!
