A light novel is a style of Japanese novel primarily targeting high school and middle school students. The term "light novel" is a wasei-eigo, or a Japanese term formed from words in the English language. Light novels are often called ranobe or, in the West, LN.

I'm not gonna play the contrarian here, and be the first to admit that the drama unfolding and dialogue is godly in Asoiaf. I'm rereading the series and I find it very refreshing, since let's be honest most fantasy sucks at having intriguing and character-shaping dialogue (most characters in fantasy sound the fucking same)
Any other fantasy book (can be series too) with such an in depth political drama and good dialogue? To be honest I want something with more low-scale politics (local rebellions, lord vs lord, no kingdoms, just local leaders) and no huge empires in it. Something with politics within a city or district, something like that. Anyone have any suggestions?
