The best Fiction Books, including Fantasy, Mystery and Thrillers, Romance and Science Fiction, recommended and reviewed by Escalating Knowledge.
The fantasy genre allows us to escape into magical worlds filled with adventure, intrigue and the age-old battle between good and evil. As a long-time fantasy fan, I've journeyed through many captivating lands, but none compare to the exceptionally crafted realm of Robert Jordan's epic masterwork, The Wheel of Time.
The first thing that strikes you when you open the pages of "A Game of Thrones," the first book in George R. R. Martin's epic fantasy saga "A Song of Ice and Fire," is the sheer vastness and complexity of the world you're entering. This is no simplistic fantasy realm of good versus evil. Westeros and the lands beyond feel startlingly real, gritty, and nuanced.
