A Dance With Dragons

[Lettow77]

Urban fantasy....I'm really not big on modern fantasy....Has just never done it for me in book form for some reason.
Though I should read more fantasy....

China Mieville is rather good. I imagine particularly so if you're a big city person.

Is he really? Perdido Street Station was interesting world-building, but irritating and disappointing as far as an actual story. Were the subsequent stories in the setting any better?

Jesus, that guy is slow.  They're waiting for GRR to finish a part of his next book to include in the paperback version of this one.  It was supposed to be released in May.  Then August.  Now, it's for March 2013.

I'll have to revise my whole reading strategy.  No more Star Wars Books post-Yavin to read, no more Song of Ice and Fire, well, I'll have to do something else of my spare time.  Maybe I'll finish all those games I started.

I recommend The Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson.

I liked that, but liked his Anathem even better.

I recommend Sanderson's Mistborn Trilogy.

For urban fantasy, try Rivers of London and The Dresden Files, both of which are written by reliable authors.

thanks for the suggestions.  I'll take a look at that.
