Yes, although I will say that I found “A Song of Fire and Ice” to be more interesting that “The Lord of the Rings”, and the characters to be far deeper and more compelling.
I have not read “The Lord of the Rings” twice, and I don’t think I have will. I just started book 3 of “A song of Fire and Ice” for the second time, and I’m loving it again.
have = ever*
oops!
I haven’t seen the show or read his books. How do they compare to Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series?
The books are brilliantly written. But not for everyone. Persistent gruesome unhappy endings for the characters one grows to care about during the reading. I came to believe the author has a nasty cruel streak and must enjoy inflicting pain on his readers. Tolkien was creating myth. Martin creates a world of pain, overseeing it like a cruel god.
