Ah, I know you read at least a few paranormals so I didn't want to presume.
Here's the cover art for ACTW, does that look familiar?
GRRM is...well, I'm largely attached to it for the characters, and the moral message/life of the world, but it also does an extremely good job of making "huge and epic" actually feel huge and epic, instead of tust a thick book.
That is another excellent selling point in its favor. I have no problem with loooooong books when the length is necessary to tell the story properly, but I hate hate hate books that just seem to be full of unnecessary padding to the point where a proper editor would have to trade the red pencil for a chainsaw.
