By George R.R. Martin
I just started reading this series.
My ex-girlfriend lent me the first book, and I lent her my stargate sg-1 series 2 set.... we broke up, she still has stargate, I still have the book.... <.< >.>
Anyways, I thought it was very excellent, and very well written.
Characters are very well developed, and feasible plot-twists abound.
I'm about 2/3rds done a Clash of Kings.
I'd say Daenerys, despite having a fairly minor role in the books, so far. not many chapters are devoted to her. She's my fav because she's very strong, despite being extremely young. Having gone through very difficult times, yet over coming them even stronger, and having learned something profound.
Arya is also a favorite, for a similar reason.
Yeah..... thoughts? anybody read these books>
