I read this book after having watched most of the corresponding events on HBO’s Game of Thrones television series, so I didn’t have the same shocking moments that someone who read the books first would have. Also, having watched the show first, it likely affects my view as I’m reading the novel. Hav...

Loved the detail of the book compared to the HBO series. This book took a bit longer to get through because there were so many details, I found myself going back to check on what I had heard. I listened to this as an audio book and glad I did. Roy Dotirice, the narrator was excellent. His use o...

I really loved the first volume, Game of Thrones. Definitely five-star worthy, even if a couple of things kept me from continuing on--for years. Ironically both reasons had to do with Martin making me care very much for his characters, so much so I was reluctant to become further invested. Fo...

The bloodiest book so far, Martin doesn't hold back on killing off established characters.Again, short chapters focusing on one persons perspective, quite a lot of surprises and twists in this one.

The first part of book three. As with the previous book, the chapters are focused on one main character, which makes it easier to keep track of people and places.Still plenty going on, with fragile alliances being forged, and a fair share of fighting (although less big battles in this one, more smal...

As always, as there are plenty of reviews out there already, I'm just going to put down some disconnected commentary instead. In Storm of Swords, the midden finally starts to hit the windmill. As even more perspective characters are introduced to the mix and few of the existing ones ever seem to g...

This third installment of The Song Of Ice And Fire series returns with so much going on it took up 2 seasons on HBO to capture everything. There are weddings, death, and many surprises. Did I mention deaths? I had trouble finishing this book not because it was boring but because I knew what had h...
