Liked It1 of 1 members found this review helpful “I did not take to this series early on. While I thought that the first-person narrative was clever, I was disappointed at the lack of fantasy elements in the first book of the series. I also wished that each of the characters could be distinguished by the way they speak. However, I am now very...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“Martin's most recent installment, now famous for the ominous "end of 2006" note for Dance at the end. A good entry to the series, missing some favorite characters (Tyrion of course, but also Jon Snow, and some more Arya) though his writing is beginning to show some strain.”

i will take away one star from the book not for the quality, but how the book was edited and split into two (between this volume and dance with dragons). ”
“Awesome!”

There are more threads open than ever before, with little to nothing resolved. Nevertheless, I'm greatly anticipating the next book in the series.”

“After the "Oh My God" finale of Storm of Swords, where everyone's storyline gets cranked up to 11, this book is somewhat of a letdown, but ONLY because only half the characters are represented. Martin really revs up the story toward the end of the book and you get to see certain characters' lines suspend just like SoS did. Despite the good writing and excellent story telling, it's hard when you're only seeing half of what's going on and Dance of Dragons isn't out yet.

So even though this is probably the weakest installment so far, it's only weak because half the cast is off stage. Martin can still write circles around most other people out there, and a bad GRRM book is going to be better written and plotted than 80% of the books released in a year.”
“Wow.

I just read the first four books in succession and I cannot believe the twists and turns Martin is pouring into this book as he has the past three. I am intrigued at Arya's journey and I sincerely hope that in ADWD we get to see more of what her future holds. I did not mind having some of the characters not in this book... i enjoy the suspense! Martin keeps you on your toes and with the characters he does tell the story through, well they are enough to keep the story rolling. It also allows for further understanding into some characters that are not in the major roles.
good reading”

“A good book, in fact the entire series is well written, if you like fantasy, of course”
