great fantasy novels

[mmm skyscraper]

I really like the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik. It's a retelling of the Napoleonic Wars with dragons. If you don't really like history, don't let the Napoleon stuff throw you off, you could easily change the names of the countries and it wouldn't make much of a difference.

In the UK the first book is called Temeraire; in the US it's called His Majesty's Dragon.

And hopefully the next Martin book will come out soon (fingers crossed).

If you want really tedious fantasy, try Terry Goodkind. I really didn't like it, but it does have fantasy in it.
