It's completely subjective. Torchlight II is very similar to what you'd get from a modern Diablo II. Diablo III is more of an evolution, and is certainly fun. Torch2 has more legs, but they're both worth playing for a casual experience.

That is a good book, you will enjoy it.
The actual name of "Arthur Gordon Pym" is "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket", which is even more awesome.

Feast of Crows was a bit of a slog, but still pretty darn good compared to many other series. I would never call it bad, by any stretch. The real problem is that it's missing certain perspectives. And the ones you get in turn are not a fair trade.
Like many others, I just had to keep going. Fortunately, I found book 5 a bit better. Especially the latter half.
See, there ya go. A point for the other side. |

Fair comments and that is a disappointing turn for sure... but man I'm too invested to not know what's up.
And another one bites the dust. :-) To be fair though, if I could go back in time 13 years ago when Storm of Swords came out and say "seriously, stop reading after this one, you'll regret it"... well, I wouldn't have listened either. |

Oooh - check this out. Anyone remember the Lone Wolf choose-your-own-adventure/RPG hybrid books? The author has made them available free to read/play at the following website in about a dozen different formats. http://www.projectaon.org/en/Main/HomeBTW Tooks - not sure how I missed this before now but holy cow this is awesome!!! |

But then again - if you enjoy detailed descriptions of what is in the larder at any given moment, you may very much enjoy these books. Far be it from me to say what is "bad" or "good" - but books 4 and 5 are definitely "different" in terms of pace, attention to minutiae, and pages spent describing what people are eating.
Also, I think it is fair to warn you that the "main" characters in the sense I'm guessing you mean it are not in book 4, so steel yourself accordingly if you decide to press on.

Why?
The actual editing stops after book 3. I think part of the problem may be that originally, back in the late 90s when GRRM first started publishing these, his plan was to SKIP like 15 years of time between books 3 and 4. But he does not do that. This thing takes a hard right into Jordanville starting with book 4. |

FINALLY finished A Storm of Swords. I like where this is going.
Crazy epilogue
I'll give you the same advice I've been giving everybody. STOP NOW. Nobody ever listens. |
