Re: OT: good fantasy books
I have to disagree on Steven King's Dark Tower. While I am a fan of some of his work, with The Shining being on my alltime top 25 list, I did not enjoy the gunslinger.
He was not my idea of a hero, he let a kid die for no real reason. I sort of have to identify with the character, and care what happens to him, for me to have an interest in the book.
In martin's series, the only characters i care about, jon snow and bran(crippled kid) were not even included in his last book.
