Or actually, does anyone have any tips for buying a new router? I know what the

Sounds like I'm going to want ready access to the next book in A Song of Fire and Ice when I'm done reading it. So I should probably read Phoenix Guards first.

Thanks for the info!

Your other commenter already answered your question, so I'll just add that Martin is not your average extraordinarily thick high fantasy series. Stuff happens! (My roommate is mysteriously subjecting herself to Green Angel Tower,by Tad Williams, in which he spends three paragraphs on a guy decideing if he's going to clean his sword or not.
I'll aslo add that while I was reading aGoT, I was indifferent to it. Heck, the big shocking thing at the climax didn't bug me. But the final scene hooked me, and the books only get better, and now I think he's a minor god.

Eee, I love A Song of Ice and Fire (the series aGoT is the first part of)! The author has only written four out of a projected seven books thus far, but he seems to be sort of close to finishing the fifth, which makes me happy. My only problem-- a personal one, not the author's-- is that I have a hard time remembering who some of the minor characters are because there are a ton! But it has a very tight plot in my opinion, and I enjoy how each chapter is from a different character's perspective. My opinion about at least one character changed once they were allowed to narrate.

A game of thrones is the first in the series "A song of ice and fire". Masterpiece of fantasy, if you ask me. The books following "Thrones" are

A clash of kings
A storm of swords
A feast for crows

And there will apparently be three books more in the series. It was planned as a trilogy first, but he extended it to four, then six, then seven books, due to the story becoming more and more complex. A case of the story hijacking its author, maybe? ;)
