by George R.R. Martin
The usual plots within plots, alliances forged and broken. Less bloody than other books (although Martin still manages to bump off some major characters).This book seemed to be moving people into position for the next installment. The start was focused on people who didn't get much attention in part...
Runs concurrently with book 4, following the people who were missed from that book.Fortunately, this means we're spared the ravings and whining of House Stark's remnants (apart from Bran and Jon Snow, who get more than their fair share of pages).This book seems to be less bloody than some of the oth...
I'm glad I've finally managed to catch up with this series, though a part of me wishes I had paced it more, as I now find myself stalking anything about the Winds of Winter. There some aspects of this book I didn't enjoy so much but I liked it for the most part, I'll be discussing it more in a bookt...
Since this is technically half way through the book I'm not gonna say much until I've finished the second part. I am enjoying it, but I'm still not sure how I feel about how he decided to split AFfC/ADwD- it certainly has given both books a very different feel to them from the rest of the series.
As frustrated as I get waiting for each volume of this series to come out, I have to say each one is worth the wait. The writing is well done, the story moves and each character has a unique voice. Mr. Martin names each chapter after the character who is the main focus, but the characters are so w...
Synopsis or something like that:It is he fifth volume of A Song of Ice and Fire, the fantasy epic series which has been made very popular nowadays. If you have read the previous four parts you know that summarizing the fifth would be close to impossible; if you haven’t read any of them, well, just l...
So again, George R.R. Martin is unable to write a book that can be safely published as a single volume paperback. Perhaps somebody should explain to him that slightly smaller novels, published more regularly, might keep the haters at bay - heck it might even make it less of a chore for him to write....
This book was what I was expecting from A Feast for Crows (which I didn't enjoy) and I was happy to be reunited with Daenerys, Tyrion, Bran and Jon Snow at last. The plot had its gripping moments, but overall I was left slightly disappointed. Daenerys didn't seem to do a lot in this book, and the ot...
With only five months between my reading of A Feast for Crows and this, I dread to imagine how confused readers would be who'd been forced to wait the full five years between publications. I was confused as hell. I can see why George R.R. Martin thought he had to split books four and five this way -...
