After completing the four published books in the Song of Fire and Ice series my exploration of the 'good stuff' in the fantasy genre continues. I just finished Patricia A. McKillip’s Riddle Master trilogy and am into the second book of Robin Hobb's Assassin book. It's amazing that after all my years of sneering at this genre how much I'm enjoying the ride. While I don't think I have the stomach for the whole Robert Jordan Wheel of Time series, I look forward to trying out a bunch of books on this fine list: Top 25 Fantasy Books. The list's author and I seem to share similar tastes.
