Re: A Song of Ice and Fire
I have a lot of trouble finding good fantasy books, but I may try out some of those. Recently, the only one I liked enough to buy a sequel was Terry Goodkind (Wizard's First Rule) but I didn't finish the second book... Other than that, and Feist's first two books... The Last Unicorn (Peter Beagle) is exceptional.
SF, on the other hand, is another matter. I really liked David Brin's first Uplift trilogy (and more recently, Kiln People), and Vernor Vinge's "A Fire Upon The Deep". Joe Haldeman's "Forever War" is excellent as well. And we mustn't forget Niven, but I expect most people here would have read Ringworld... at least the ones who came from the SEIV forum=)
Does the Riftwar series stay high quality after the initial two books?
