Anyone read this mans books?!
Each one is a freaking hit! I can't believe it. I read his first book and thought it was pretty bad, for the first chapter or two, then, as it continued, it just became so good, to the point I thought it could ONLY go downhill, but each book he adds, RAISES THE BAR.
He has new, unheard of writing mechanics he uses, to allow the view point from almost every character in the scene. It's just such a treat as "Random Guard B" in any other book, randomly gets a Chapter from his PoV, as he looks upon the "Main characters" and their actions.
Or in Battle scenes, as it shifts from character to character, as the character you were following is killed, your PoV is switched to his killers, then to his killers, so on and so forth, creating a dynamic that brings the Battlefield alive!
I can just read his books for hours on end, not wanting to sleep because each chapter just gets more interesting. Seriously, this guy is incredible! I wouldn't be surprised if he goes down as the next Tolkien of the fantasy genre!
His ability to bring characters to the point where you honestly care about them and understand their emotions, to the point where you can visually see the setting in your head down to the littlest detail. I don't know if he can keep this streak up though, each one just seems to be getting better and better, but every author writes a dud or two...
The characters he makes and the way he weaves in references to them in other books, even ones decades later than the events, makes you feel as if the world is alive, and just, I mean if you thought a Song of Fire & Ice had alot of Point of Views, nothing on this mans series. He offers so many PoV's that by the time the book is done, you understand almost everybodies motivations, even the worthless characters whom have no importance to the story, but that just helps build the world.
Also, the plot twists are very rare in this book, unlike most Authors, he doesn't try to plot twist you to keep your attention, and some plot twists are actually hidden, that you have to gather random details from chapters to put together. It's never a "AHA!" and a character explains the entire twist in a Chapter. He leaves that to the reader, to figure out, which just makes them so much more endearing.
I'd say I hope this gets it's own HBO series, someday, as Game of Thrones did pretty well in it's adaption of a Song of Fire & Ice...but it's hard to say.
The Bloody Nine / Logen Ninefingers has to be one of the biggest, most badass characters ever designed.
Imagine Guts, from Berserk, but throw in a touch of insanity, and with a desire of "bettering himself".
