This is a very good series of books. George R.R. Martin is probably one of the most underappreciated geniuses in science-fiction. Read his short stories (Sand Kings, Fast Friend, The Way of Cross and Dragon, many others) and check out his older novels (especially read "The Last Master"). I would say George R.R. Martin is one of the top 10 all-time best science fiction and fantasy writers.
Also, you don't want to miss The Wheel of Time. Books 1-6 are some of the most amazing fantasy books I have ever read. The world and the societies Robert Jordan has created are epic beyond almost anything else in print. Books 7-9 are good but he seems to be having trouble balancing all the seperate stories he has going on at once. I haven't read book 10, yet, but I will get around to it shortly. (The first two novels in the series are The Eye of the World and The Great Hunt in case you can't find them under the name The Wheel of Time).
