George talks about the phenomena of the world from his A Song of Ice and Fire cycle expanding beyond books.

Since reading Feast, I haven't had much time to put towards reading. Read a few non-fiction since then, kinda want to read a new fantasyish novel.

I'd like something with a twist- like ASOFAI, something more gritty and inspiring, not typical young villager boy turned uber hero fare.

I've already read a lot of fantasy (Jordan, Goodkind, Tad Williams, Roger Zelazny (Amber), Tolkien, etc).

So far I've found:
The Black Company (Glen Cook)

I'd prefer something that isn't part of some mega-sized, unfinished series.

Any suggestions?
