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.
