Other than GOT's I've only read one of his other works, that being a children's medieval fantasy book titled
The Ice Dragon. I bought it for my niece for Christmas a few years back, but read it before I gave it to her. (Had to make sure it was appropriate reading material for an 8 yr old) :D
One of these days I definitely will check out his other works though.

Generally speaking it is all too often quite obvious as to who here reads a lot and who doesn't. I believe in your case as in many others it has paid off considerably.

By Robert Charles Wilson? I've only read the synopsis but it sounds very Divergent-like in certain ways.
I think a trip to the book exchange is in my near future, as thanks to this thread I now have a new list of titles I want to devour.
