These are both fairly typical epic fantasy series both with a lot of world building, not particularly dark/gritty like some other popular series (Game of Thrones, etc.) The world building tends to turn a lot of people off while others really like it. If you haven't read much fantasy and don't find these to your liking there are other places to start too.

As far as cold war thrillers, the Jack Ryan series certainly is that while the Bourne series only touches on the cold war and I wouldn't classify it that way at all.

You might get more interesting results for you if you list a few books/series that you have read and like. Maybe add a list to the 2014 challenge (or a Goodreads link since it sounds like you have one), it is never to late to join that.

BTW, WELCOME! Nice to see someone new jumping in with both feet!
