Loved those books but wow is there a lot of description...it really does put things in perspective. However, I will say lately many fantasy books feel kind of shallow? Not a lot of imagery or character development...though I'm sure there are a few out there that break the mold but I haven't found anything that's high fantasy on the level of the Farseer trilogy in ages.
I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from reading the books, I kinda wanted to see if anyone agreed or if I was just being a baby Heck, I read George RR Martin. If I can read that...
