The style of writing and storytelling is excellent. The pace was fast and the book is readable. Otherwise, the book disappointed me a little, because I feel like the story didn't suit me at all. But I see that there is some potential, so I'll try the second part.

a very strong start to an epic fantasy series. martin weaved multiple pov's, separate plotlines, and a staggering cast of characters with ease. his prose is descriptive without being overindulgent. his handling of the dothraki, and how so many women dies in childbirth is :/ his cishet white man shenanigans aside, i loved this book. even at several hundred pages (what the fuck george) heed all content warnings.
