A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin (2nd book in A Song of Ice and Fire series)
I normally don't read much anymore (besides comics) and so I was pleasantly surprised with how great the first book in this series, A Game of Thrones, was. A Clash of Kings (as well as the other books in the series) is considered "high fantasy" and is set in sort of a medieval time period. I'm normally not crazy about elves and magic and other typical fantasy tropes but so far most of the story deals with non-magical humans.

Each book in the series is told from the perspective of about 8 different characters (some "perspective characters" change from book to book). Overall the story is very dense. There are a fuck ton of different characters and subplots. It's very enjoyable but sometimes I have to stop and look at the map or the character appendix. My favorite characters to read are Arya and Jon.

By 'but', you mean 'and'.
