| And to get more on topic, fire & ice makes me thing of yin & yang. One can't exist without the other sorta deal. Opposite but complimentary forces. Yadda yadda. |

Fire can't exist without ice!? Are you trying to send Acton into a fit of bad-science rage? |

| Surely the entire geothermal cycle is necessary to the process of combustion! Ice sheet friction had to have been a pertinent step to the coalescence of oxygen byproduct that lead to our ability to discover and kindle exothermic reactions in the first place. |

Well, I don't even know if what you said was true as I haven't really gotten past the third book. But I kind of came to a similar conclusion you did.
At least the idea that Jon and Danny are the two forces that bring balance to the land of Westeros once again. |

Is this good, or bad? :p I mean, I really like fantasy novels - LOTR is a pretty good story and all, but JESUS ING CHRIST so much irrelevant detail. Family heritages, etc. Too damn dry.
I'm a pretty big fan of Terry Goodkind, even though he gets pretty ing preachy in his later books, but whatever. |
Goodkind is a ing champion. Totally agree on the preachyness though. I caught myself skimming through like half a book because it's just Zedd giving a ing lecture |

It's very good. Very good. The detail and depth of family histories is so essential to the plot. Everyone's lives are interwoven - no choice made by any character is insignificant. Things happen later in the story and you find yourself recalling something from the earlier chapters and saying "Aha!" |
Okay, I think I might give it a shot then. I've really been wanting to get into some more fantasy stuff.

Yeah, I love all the books (the first 2 and the Chainfire books especially), but he just goes over the top with the whole 'capitalism vs. communism' social comparisons between the Order and the 'free world' and it gets a bit stupid to read. Absolutely outstanding characters throughout the whole thing though. |
