Re: Anyone got ASOIAF fic recs?

If you are interested in historical fiction set in the European Middle Ages, you could try Zoe Oldenbourg's Heirs of the Kingdom, The World is Not Enough, The Cornerstone, and Destiny of Fire; or Sigrid Undset's Kristin Lavransdatter (try the new translation by Tiina Nunnally unless you like your prose clotted with deliberate archaisms, in which case go for the 1923 translation, it still has its charms), the much shorter Gunnar's Daughter (badass heroine alert) and The Master of Hestviken; or Jane Smiley's The Greenlanders, or Julia O'Faolain's The Women in the Wall.

There's also saga literature, from the period itself: Njal's Saga, Egil's Saga, and The Saga of the People of Laxardal are some of the best known.

You might also like The Tale of the Heike.
