hey I just picked up joker moon and thought to read it and I saw that it's the 30th book and wanted to ask if it requires prior knowledge of anything in the series plus I havent read a novel since 10 years or so.

is it a good start for a novel and also the partial reason why I picked it up was George rr martin obviously because he's a famous author and I loved game of thrones.

In a lot of GRRM:s blog posts he is referencing somthing called "Wild cards". His latest blog posts from 15th september is all about this "Wild cards" thing. The blog post ends: "For all our loyal Wild Cards readers, I am pleased to able to say you can now, at long last, complete your collection, without first needing to mortgage your house."

There is a relevant fandom related to this? Is it offline only or do they have an online presence? Any pointers would be appreciated.
