[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 2414556, member: 478"] I like believable characters with feasible motivations. A good mix between drama, romance, action, etc, since all of those are interesting to me. I like, if things are not overdone. Admittedly, I have only read one D&D novel, and that one was godawful. The only reason, why I did not put it down was, that it was informative, because it covered the events of an adventure-campaign I'm using. ;) I have read a few shadowrun novels, however, which I found (mostly) very entertaining. The more light-hearted approach, which is often used there (as opposed to a monster like SoIaF), is well-suited for a quick read, but in the end, I enjoy reading a book with such intricate layers of detail as the SoIaF series better. Stan Nicholls' Quicksilver Trilogy is a pretty light fantasy reading and fairly action-packed, which I did enjoy reading (and still do, Quicksilver Twilight is due out in octobre). It cannot compete with novels like the Lord of the Rings or the Song of Ice and Fire, but it's nonetheless enjoyable reading. Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
