Loading... A Storm of Swords (2000)by George R. R. Martin
None. I am obsessed with the Song of Ice and Fire series. I do feel as though the books could move a bit faster than they do (more similarly to their show counter parts). I am so in love with them though I don't mind when not much action is happening. (  ) Ccfoley | Apr 30, 2013 |  ereader ebook  romsfuulynn | Apr 28, 2013 | GRRM finally, almost grudgingly, earns four stars from me. Things I liked: Jon's story in the second half of the book, SAM, Jaime's story because it was entertaining, Joffrey's big day , Hodor Hodor-ing, Davos, some of the Daenerys stuff (surprisingly, given she's been one of my least favourite characters until now). Things I didn't like so much: Catelyn (STOP MEDDLING IT NEVER TURNS OUT WELL), Sansa (I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU ANYMORE), how Arya seemed to keep just getting shifted about all over the place and nothing of any real value happened in her storyline because I love her, the Red Wedding (which was good but telegraphed completely), Jaime's story because it did feel a bit like GRRM was just going SURPRISE HE WAS GOOD ALL ALONG for no real reason except that he felt like it, Robb's continuing lack of personality, everything with Jon and the Wildlings (but that was mostly because doublecross stories always make me feel uncomfortable and sad). I DID like more than I disliked, despite the list. These books are hugely flawed, and there's a lot not to like, but I did enjoy them. However, I'm stopping here, at least until the last two are published. I've been well enough warned that this is a good time to get out, and frankly, given that there's every chance we'd be waiting another six years or so just to see Winds of Winter, I don't want to get to invested in something that, in the opinions of anyone I trust about books, declines pretty badly over books four and five. I have too many other things to read. ( ) heterocephalusglaber | Apr 26, 2013 | I could not put this book down, it was just fantastic all around!

Fucking beautiful and fucking horrible. Seriously, fantasy writing at it's finest. ( ) stacey2112 | Apr 22, 2013 |
 Could we be heading for an ultimate conflict in which both sides are wrong and the right answer is being human and choosing the excluded middle? Wouldn’t that be cool if it were the case?  With the end of A Storm of Swords, Martin is half finished his epic. However, so little has been revealed that we have only begun to glimpse what the true saga really is. It's as if you are peering through a dirty window, cleaning small portions of it -- one square inch at a time -- so more and more of the room beyond is slowly revealed. Each glimpse uncovers a new wonder, but you can never be sure of exactly what you are seeing. Is contained inContainsLe Trône de fer, tome 06: Les brigands/Intrigues à Port-Réal by George R. R.
