I've just started Dance of Dragons. It's a fantastic series and a incredible TV series too. But according to reviews Dance of Dragons is supposedly not as good as all the books before it. But we'll see.

It's not good. IT'S EPIC. I would say it's the best fantasy book I've ever read (not that I've read many actually). It's like the LOTR of our generation. But don't take my word for it, it's been topping the bestseller lists for awhile now and it's TV adaption has one of the highest budgests for a HBO series. Go and read A Game of Thrones, it's beyond worth making time to read.
