George R. R. Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" series is about the best fantasy series I have ever read, and I have read a lot of books in this category. The characters are very well developed, complex and believable. It makes you wish you could meet them (some because you hate them and others because you love them.) The way he describes the environment, the customs of the people, all of it seems exactly as if he looked back in time to a medieval period and just described what he saw. There are a lot of gruesome descriptions of war and killing and all that, but also a lot of humor mixed in. Everyone should read all the books in the series... each one is better than the last, and personally I can't wait for the next one to be published!
I have not had time to read this book in order to write a review.

Get 'em all! Read 'em all. You will not be disappointed...if you like the genre. Actually better than the Lord of the Rings series. More action and intrigue.

I purchased A Storm of Swords to continue reading the series by George R. R. Martin, Came of Thrones. Having been introduced to the host of characters in the first two books of the series, the continuation in this book saw their further development and the world of the Seven Kingdoms tossing like a ship in a stormy sea. I found that just when I decided who would be the hero or heroine of the series to come forward and save the day, they were dashed from the cast of characters or hopelessly embroiled in the events of the day. Several times I was nearly jumping from the chair to cheer on my favorite characters. This series is enjoyable for one who enjoys delving into the history of the world of fantasy, knights, dragons and the fears of the times, and I am one of those! A riveting series of daring do, with enough blood and gore, and romance to entertain the masses.Read full review
