I just finished reading "A Feast for Crows," book 4 in George R.R. Martin's epic fantasy, A Song for Ice and Fire, and it was da bomb!!! That's a good thing, for you older people. Martin's narrative has to be one of the most complex ever written, spanning upwards of 3500 so far, and the series is only about halfway done. More characters died, more previously unambiguously bad people turn out to have a good side, and vice versa, and best of all is what happens to Cersei. And most importantly.... Winter is no longer coming....

It's here.


If you enjoy reading about medieval history, try these books out whether or not you can stomach fantasy. The fantasy elements are minimal, and you'll get far too attached to the characters and the story to care, anyway.
