I've put a poll just to see what other people think, but please don't vote unless you've read all the options.
Im talking about Kate Elliot's A crown of Stars series. There my favourite books, tying with aSoIaF.
I know quite a few people have actually read them but its nowhere near some inferior series in the popularity stakes.
I absolutely love the characters, they seem real and solid. The word is sort of a mirror of the Holy Roman Empire in the early middle ages but this doesn't harm the story at all. In fact it make the world more real (don't worry there's magic and stuff in it as well)
It has a few faults: Chracters cover large stretches in the books and sometimes you'd rather be reading about someone else. However this creates a rich picture of the world with many different subplots and agendas. In a way like aSoIaF but more laid back so to speak. Again its the chracters that make it.
Its a crying shame WoT and its ilk are more popular than it. Memory, Sorrow and Thorn is beating hands down as is Feist's Serpentwar Saga.
