The third volume in George R.R. Martin's epic fantasy A Song of Ice and Fire continues this exotic and mesmerising saga. The Seven Kingdoms are divided by revolt and blood feud, and winter approaches like an angry beast. Beyond the northern borders, to gather in the ice and stone wasteland of the Frostfangs. From there, the renegade Brother Mance Rayder will lead them south towards the Wall. Robb Stark wears his new-forged crown in the Kingdom of the North, but his defences are ranged against attack from the south, the land of House Stark's enemies the Lannisters. His sisters are trapped there, dead or likely yet to die, at the whim of the Lannister boy-king Joffrey or his depraved mother Cersei, regent of the Iron Throne. And Daenerys Stormborn will return to the land of her birth to avenge the murder of her father, the last Dragon King on the Iron Throne.… (more)

Just superb. I felt that books 2 and 3.1 didn't quite live up to the promise of the first, but Blood & Gold absolutely nailed it. Great characters and such wonderful twists and turns. I'm going straight on to book 4. ( )

Mr. Martin keeps weaving his magic, killing off people left, right and centre, and we keep turning the pages, enchanted. ( )
