This was just posted on Greenwillow's FB page. Someone wrote a post on books to read while they wait for this weird book in some series I've never heard of--Game of Thrones? It must be, like, super obscure.
Anyway, the post recommended MWT and Robin McKinley! They did fail to mention, however, that MWT is 2000% better than George R.R. Martin can ever hope to be (not that I have any strong, biased opinons. I'm just stating facts....................)
Has anyone here read Swordspoint by Ellen Kushner (the other book recommended in this post)? I'm simultaneously wary and intrigued. (wary that George R.R. Martin likes it, and intrigued that it's being mentioned with MWT and Robin McKinley).
