In Progress

I decided to go right into the next novel in a Song of Fire and Ice.  The review will be here in about 800 pages.

A Song of Ice and Fire - A Storm of Swords

So I finally decided to dive into book three of George RR Martins "A Song of Ice and Fire."  Mainly, because season three of Game of Thrones will begin soon.  I realize this is a hard review.  It's not like anything is going to begin with this book and if you have read the first two, I don't understand why you'd stop now.

I was hooked ever since I first read a Game of Thrones a couple of years ago.  Unfortunately, I'm a pretty slow reader and I have trouble diving into a books with over a thousand pages.  So I didn't have the motivation to read each one right after the other.

The amazing thing is a soon as I started reading the first pages I was immediately transported back to Westeros, like I only finished a Clash of Kings yesterday.   The characters are fresh and exciting.  You actually continue to learn more and more about the individuals.  I have absolutely no idea where this story is going and I can't begin to guess.  It leaves me on my toes the whole way through to the end.  Parts are shocking, sad, happy, and all at the same time.

A true masterpiece, arguably the best of the first three books.
