Could not get into this book at all. I'm sure it's good, but it's not my style.

Okay, I'm finally doing this. I can tell you now, it's not going to be a quick read, because I have other books I need to read and review. But even if it's only a chapter a day, or week, it's still better than waiting until I have nothing else on my plate... Because, I realise now, that is NEVER goi...

There is something about busy weekends that make me feel overly ambiguous. The weekend following Christmas was no exception. Despite the fact I had shopping and baking and a family party to attend...I still thought it was a great time to start a 800 page book. A 800 page book in a series and genre I...

The Game of Thrones – A Song of Ice and FireIf you love fantasy that is not formulatic then this is the book for you with the sheer brilliance of a multi layered plot that weaves so many seemingly unrelated stories together to form a plausible alternate universe in which not only politics, intrigue,...

Sad to say that until now I have never touched A Game of Thrones book. Once the television series came out I was instantly hooked but never had an urge to go and read the books.

Lord Ned Stark, a very good friend of the king, Robert Baratheon, was promoted as the hand. Which pr...

Great fantasy book. Really good to find a new series (well, new to me) with dungeons, dragons, swords and magic. I'm getting sick of the over-saturation of the market of witches, vampires and werewolves. I've been looking for something different for a while, and George R. R. Martin is it. CAN NOT WA...

I really loved this book and it kept me reading until the last page. I thought it was well written and reminded me of my other favorite series--The Wheel of Time. Martin takes historical ideas and creates a world that becomes real before your eyes. So many times people romanticize history and Martin...

I had high hopes for this - lots of enthusiasm on book sites. I read a few chapters, got inside the heads of a few characters. Fine. Then I watched the first episode - it all tallied. No more gore than normal for the genre. The sex likewise. But I've lost interest. I think the problem is th...

I was rather surprised to discover that I genuinely enjoyed this.I'm not particularly fond of high fantasy or epic fantasy, and I tend to avoid doorstoppers and never-ending series on sight. I've always heard ASoIaF mentioned in the same breath as the Kingkiller Chronicles, and let's just say that m...
