I'm a big fan of Martin (pending he finishes Ice & Fire and it doesn't suck he's my second favorite author after Robin Hobb). Ice & Fire is awfully good to me. I re-read the whole series each time a new book comes out. I passed on it for years after my experience with the Wheel of Time (which I consider pretty terrible) but Ice & Fire is actually really good.
I read Gardens of the Moon and I'm not sure what I thought. I haven't bounced off a book that hard / had that much difficulty keeping things straight and dealing with difficult-to-read-prose since I read The Two Towers in 6th grade. Or maybe Gene Wolfe's Claw of the Conciliator I read a few year ago which I think still makes my head hurt.
I came out of it deciding I'd give it some time, and then re-read book 1 again before trying some more of the series.
