I say this series is for people who liked GoT, but what I really mean is that it's for people who were dissatisfied with GoT and wanted fewer point of view characters, more heart and sympathy with the character, more women really wielding power, and all around better.
And battles. Wexler will make you love the logistics of battle so long as you're even a teeny bit interested in the first place. He writes an excellent mix of the historical and fantastical and I can't believe I have to wait another year for the conclusion.
