Recently, I grabbed the second book of the series, A Clash of Kings from A Song of Fire and Ice, by George R.R. Martin. A Clash of Kings held up some great surprises and interesting twist, along with the good writing and character development. Kind of felt a bit short though, where I assume there is more interesting things that will happen with the other sequels. I sure hope so to because now that there's dragons, I'd like to see a little magic thrown in with the battles. Otherwise I can't wait to get the other two books and then the next book, which will be coming out in 2009, I hope.

My mom also grabbed Brisingr, but I have yet to jump to it since she's reading it first, lol.
