It was a strange story. It's fantasy, but very low-key, and for the first half of the book there are no fantastical elements at all. It's about the reunion of a rockband, a subject that admittedly doesn't interest me very much - the fact that I did enjoy the novel is a testament to GRRM's skill. It's not his best novel, but it's not bad either. (Which I was expecting after learning of the fact that it didn't sell and nearly destroyed the poor guy's career.) Die-hard GRRM fans will have fun spotting some references to his previous works.
