And the good ol' 'Trolloc's' = troll + orcs. I recall they were created by the Dark Lord (who also turned his eye upon you if you spoke his true name - original!)
I started reading the series when I was 13 - and that was 10 years ago. I couldn't pick them up again now and enjoy them, my horizons have broadened too much. Some of his ideas have stuck with me as memorable, but I swear the man just poured everything he ever thought of or heard about into the series and then tried to make it fit together. His battle of the sexes got on my nerves, too. Why did the female characters sniff so much? Hidden cocain addiction?
Nah, Martins worst writing could never be as bad as Jordan.
