I've read Martin, Jordan, and Card. Out of all of them, Martin was definately my favorite, with Card bing a close second, followed by Jordan.

I chose Martin because he has a definate talent for keeping the reader emotionally involved in the story and of creating or destroying empathy for a character. He also shows a frim command of the English language in his writing and a degree of historical and mythological intelligence that is very refreshing in his books. Finally, he didn't tell the generic fantasy story (which is not necessarily a bad thing), instead writing a vivid and multifacted world without truly good or evil motives. His characters too, are uniquely human and fallible.

Did I read Orson Scott Card? Yes I did! I read both the Game Series and the Shadow Series; also read Lost Boys, Homebody, Treasure Box, and Magic Street.

Loved them all. :3 Though I can pick out my favorite, Xenocide from the Game Series. Actually, all the books from that series are my favorites. XD And why do I enjoy Card so much? Because his characters feel so real to me, that I could meet them on the streets. And I like that. Plus, his story lines are so great.
