A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Quite Honestly I am spellbound by this book. I am on cloud nine after just finishing the book a minutes ago. Without question Storm of Swords is the best of the series so far. And i dont even want to spend time writing this review, while i could have started the next one 'A Feast of Crows' which is laying on my desk.

The book astounds me with its dumbfounding storyline and the humongous number of characters while spawning myriad more eventhough countless characters are warring and annihilating each other with no shortage to assassination, betrayals and murder to the plot. Truly making 'A Storm of Swords' an apt title.

Eventhough the book starts a little slow, its picks up speed with thrill and suspense on every single page and with histories of older times. We get a transparent view of the world beyong the wall in john's and Sam's perspective, and the ensuing war between the free folks or wildings againsts the crows. and The peaceful times of Kings landing after the War of Black Water & before the tragic events. The struggle of Daenerys trying to amass a army while facing breathtaking revelations and woes of the Stark children of Winterfell trying to find safer havens is beautifully written.

On a final Note, i wasn't planning on reading the epilogue when i saw it was about a Frey called Merett getting back someone for ransom, but i went ahead and it really took my head off.....

Best book ive read in some time.......



For People who havent started 'A Song of Ice And Fire' and are reading my review, All i got to say to you is - its High time.

A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


EPIC!



I usually don't read a lot of series of books other than Harry Potter Series, Hunger Games Trilogy and The Millennium trilogy (all three i loved..)....But even though i only read 2 parts of "A Song of Ice and Fire", i think this is the best series and books - i've ever read and i'm ever going to read....I fell in love with the series and I obsess about it in the way that i had obsessed about Harry Potter when i was younger.

Even though i took almost more than 5 days to finish the book, i was completely satisfied with the book and am looking forward to reading the rest of the series soon.


The Story starts of with 4 Kings in the land of Seven Kingdoms and the threat of Mance Ryder beyond the wall. It progresses slow first, but makes a bedazzling impression further, making it difficult to put the book down. The only two negatives about the book is it takes a while to finish it and the huge number of different characters, places makes it difficult to remember the names...



Planning to start the 3rd part soon...

A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Stupendous....

The first book alone made me the fan of this "Song of Ice and Fire Series"....Extremely Vast Story line..Enormous number of characters....
Each page with stories of past, thriving and diminishing life of present, and our prediction for future... It doesn't even have a page that is a bore.....The book has an extremely thrilling and unusual kind of story telling concentrating on the perceptual view of few individuals all over the Seven Kingdoms/Westeros, the wall/the Nights Watch and beyond the Narrow sea...

All in all, A Must Read for 'anyone who can read'....
