I imagine Val's probably talking about the first in A Song of Ice and Fire, Game of Thrones and not George's first book, which was published back in the 70's I...

Val- Just curious but how long did it take you to get in to The Broken Crown? I for myself found that it wasn't until about page 400 that I really got attached...
Hmmm. It's hard for me to remember exactly about Broken Crown. I don't think it took very long though. But ... I read the Sacred Hunt books first, so I'd...

Dreams Made Flesh isnt technically a "finish" to the story. Its a book of "short stories" (varying lenghts) 3 of which take place before Queen of the Darkness....
HA! I've actually heard that before, but according to Steve, that's not the case. Aliera's character was always meant to have eyes that changed color from ...

I found Banewreaker to be a real disappointment. I think I finished it, but on Skim-Mode. And I LOVED the Kushiel's series... Maybe the next series she writes...
The problem with _Banewreaker_ is that she's trying to do Tolkien in reverse. Hence the good guys appear stupid and the bad guys she tries to make appealing. ...
Wow, I have to say I'm very surprised that so many didn't care for Banewreaker. I LOVED it. I thought it was a new and refreshing take on the same old ...
