I started reading A Game of Thrones last week and am now just over half way through, which considering the size of this book is something for me. I have probably enjoyed this book more than any other fantasy that I have read in many a long year. It is a huge epic world, with excellent (pretty evil!) characters and some great plot lines and intrigue so far.
This is the first book in the Song of Ice and Fire series and my only concern in starting to read it is that GRR Martin hasn't actually finished writing them all yet, but from the starts of things here the journey will be well worth it!
