Had a 1hour read at Kinokuniya the other day. His style of writing is great. Though, I'm only gonna get the boxset after the final book has released. tongue.gif Though the RM240++ boxset looks so tempting to buy! Comes with a poster-map inside too..

What RM240 box set? I've never seen it before.

PS: Yes, I agree on boxed sets. It is generally best to get them after the series has finished if you're a collector.

RM240++, found one in Borders Berjaya Times Square. Cool looking boxset (big too) with the family insignias printed on the box. 6 books total, with two split into Part 1 & 2. drool.gif

Is it this? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Song-Ice-Fire-Volumes/dp/0007477155

If so, there's nothing special about it besides the fact that it is the UK Harper Voyager version which splits book 3 and book 5 up into two parts; thus making 7 books.

Funnily enough, Harper Voyager also has a Dance in Dragons in 1 book as an 'option'. This alternative wasn't available for UK edition readers when book 3 was released.

In my collection, I have book 3 in 2 parts and I have book 5 in one part. I prefer the Voyager version over the Random House ones because fonts are bigger and the paper is of a slightly better quality. It annoyed me greatly when Random House released their international paperback before Voyager. I had to buy the RH version, read it, 'gift' it to a friend then buy the Voyager version so my books match on my shelf  vmad.gif

Yup that's the one. So it's 7 books, thought it was 6. Was so tempted to get it, but I've finally made it a point to wait til' the story comes full circle. tongue.gif
