George’s writing is pretty clunky in the beginning but you find the grove of it. 
It’s slower than you’d expect but extremely readable. Id suggest this to anyone wanting to get into fantasy because it’s such an easy read. 

Sweet Sansa is my favorite. Daenerys is the definition of gaslight gatekeep girlboss.

Haven't read since I was much younger so I really appreciated the reread. Generally a lot more magical than the show which as a fantasy fan I appreciate

doesn’t get any higher cause i did enjoy reading it and it wasn’t boring but there’s only so high i can rate a book which profits off of incest and hurting women. and i get that it’s mimicking historical attitudes but it also sucks to read that much sexism. very strong characters tho, they’re all so unique and interesting and i did enjoy reading it i just wish that these topics weren’t such a casual addition to the books

Readding this review after some thought
Possitive things: Daenerys' story,dragons and whitewalkers. 
Negative: Cant write 10 year olds for shit. The rape fantasies are longer(multiple pages) than the loving spouses sex scenes. 
The only reason I didnt DNF is cause I wanted to see how it ends but not worth it
All the TWs

I haven't seen the show, but hear they aged up the characters; that is unquestionably the right choice. Daenerys' age (and Sansa's, towards the end) make a lot of details feel very unnecessarily disgusting. Although I do not feel this was done with any sort of bad motive, it still significantly lowers the rating for me. However, I deeply enjoyed the court intrigue, and the world is fantastic; the world feels massive, deep, and alive, and I like that the magical elements of this medieval fantasy work are more understated and uncommon than you'd normally see.
