Just started king's Dragon too a few days ago, not got far to go before i finish it. All in all it's a very good read, but i have to say the military aspects of it are pretty crap (and as much as i love my political intrigue, religious conspiracies and magical mayhem i do like my fantasy to at some point devolve into an all out brawl.
), very small scale, little detail, the fights are just brushed over wheras martin or erikson would have you right there in the thick of it, feeling every blow. Apart from that i have no complaints, and i will continue reading the series.
BUT does the scraping get any better?
