I think that's my problem. I know what's coming through this book for the most part. It's a struggle.

I've been slightly disappointed with ASOIAF. At least relative to the "best ever" tag line people are want to give it. Great series, certainly top 10, but I don't know about hands down best ever.

Have you read the malazan books?

Also I see you started wheel of time and it is my absolute favorite series. Everything people say about it is true, but the world and everything created isn't rivaled by anyhing I have found. It's definitely the classical side, but with the strong points of WOT, that allows you to focus more on the writing IMO.

Books 3-7 or so (I haven't read the series in a few years) are my favorite stretch of anything in the genre I think.

Also I would recommend name of the wind by rothfuss. I read it recently and very good, two books out in the series thus far but I've only read the first
