well, it would be easier to get into it if we could make out the author and titles beyond the light reflection in the picture so we could know what series it is

um, but i get what you mean; i'm sure there are tons of fantasy series that are way better than asoiaf but somehow asoiaf is the one that got super popular. how did that happen? connections?

It's the Inda series by Sherwood Smith. Great military fantasy series.

ASOIAF got popular because it did things that epic fantasy readers wanted to see better than other epic fantasy series did

it's not really a mystery why ASOIAF became popular

not all epic fantasy readers like that heaping pile of shit.

Well, here's some intense bitterness.

There are many things that I enjoy seeing in epic fantasy that ASOIAF does not do.

ASOIAF is a soap opera with a fantasy backdrop, as far as I'm concerned.

The majority of the epic fantasy reading marketplace as a whole, then. I didn't mean to imply anything about the tastes of individual epic fantasy readers, or the rightness or wrongness of the desires of the epic fantasy reading marketplace as a whole. But it's not that hard to figure out why ASOIAF is popular if you talk to people who like it. It has violence and it's unpredictable. And I think the soap opera elements probably help a lot - I reckon a lot of people are a lot more interested in soap opera than they'd like to admit.
