...and yeah, I meant the series so far  . The next book should be pretty good from what I've read. The 1st chapter of Winds of Winter is on his website. It probably won't be finished until 2014 at the earliest though  . |
Swans War is probably the most similar to Martin's stuff
Warded Man is more action-packed, fun quick read
Mistborn for a great magic system (actually any of Sanderson's work, dude's so good the picked him to complete the Wheel Of Time series after Jordan died)
Neverwhere is just out there, weird and great (same guy did American Gods)
Black Jewels series is a bit more creepy
Kingkiller series isn't complete but probably the best out of all of them
Farseeyer --- how to be an assassin - who wouldn't like that?
Live Ship (or anything by Hobb) a bit longer developing but great and satisfying series
If I had to recomment just one, Warded Man. I don't imagine anyone could
not like that book and it's a quick read with a good followup (thrid not written yet but they stand on their own)
Edit: Almost forgot First Law series by Joe Abercrombie. Another great great series very much like Songs Of Ice And Fire.
