It took months to complete (4,367 pages for five books on my Nook), but the story is so good. I am considering this complete after just five books because as of March 2012 it will be “two to three more years” before book six is out. I am glad I was able to complete the books before watching season two of the TV series since some of the fleetingly inconsequential characters that are in five seconds of book and season one are main characters in later books/seasons.
