DNF at page 295... there's just too much that could've been edited down. Lost interest. Got bogged down.

Actual Rating: 4.5I have no words to express myself how much I love this whole series. R.R. Martin’s writing is so beautifully melodic I really enjoy reading it. The only thing I don’t like and which makes me very frustrated is how most of the time nothing important happens until the end of the chap...

I'm a little more mollified after reading part two but only slightly. A cliffhanger for each of the most interesting characters left me a little heartsick. Yea I'm that invested now but I'm horrified as it's also with an author that loves to torture and I don't just mean his characters. I mean his r...

To be honest, I'm kind of glad to be near the end of this series (what's come out so far) because despite a few good moments and ideas, it's all become unbearably self-indulgent. Martin's endless desire to be "edgy" was boring by two books in and his constant obsession with being "full of dark surp...

It didn't really end with a big bang, but it certainly didn't lack action and schemes and plot twists. Characters I loved I started to resent and characters I hated I started to respect. The book turns many things around and it was just amazing! I NEED WINDS OF WINTER!!!

And this is why you shouldn't commit to writing multi-part books without a detailed outline, at least. The book is not terrible, as such, but it's the weakest link as far as the storytelling goes. Hence the rating. There were a few good parts, but they didn't get to stand out that much because the...

Blargh! Utterly frustrating to the point of wanting to say "F' it" and stop reading, but also too damn good to actually follow through, until I remember that I'm done now, and Martin writes too slow. Maybe by the time The Winds of Winter comes out, I'll have had time to stop being so annoyed with ...

George R.R. Martin definitely did not spare any brutality or cruelty when he killed off Eddard Stark in the first novel, and definitely felt no regret from killing Robb or Catelyn. But this. This book, just makes the other books seem like a big sack of 100 lbs. sugar. I'm actually surprised at how l...

The seven Kingdoms are still in a very precarious state. Closing in are all the players vying for the Throne of Swords. They are all closing in but seemingly are not getting any closer. Everyone is in exile, in prison or too far away and too busy staying alive to take a clear foothold.I liked the...
