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

I liked the story, it was the reason I read it. The way the show follows the books is really impressive, most of the scenes followed the books verbatim. It is probably one of the best book to screen adaptations out there (I am ignoring the last season). The characters were well rounded and each one was their own person. Each of the POVs were enjoyable and provided a new side to the story. But the writing wasn't for me. Everything that didn't matter was overexplained and made the story feel like it was dragging on. I also understand that it is a high fantasy, but the descriptions of the women gave me the icks. Too much of women written by men for me. If the writing was different and the descriptions of everything were better, then it would have been a better read and rated higher. But at least I finished it! Ignore how long it took me please, I'm begging.

I think the person I was earlier this year would've hated this book so much. Thanks to Kristin Cashore's Graceling Realm series I've matured as a reader and sincerely become a fantasy fan. The slower pace, world building and detail intense writing is exactly what there is to love in the genre and George R. R. Martin is the master of all of those things. I get bored easily, yet even when reading chapter upon chapter of content I've already seen on the screen my attention is held. My biases created by the show definitely are following me into the reading and I find myself dreading certain POVs (...specifically Dany's I KNOW CONTROVERSIAL OPINION) and hanging onto every word of others (Sansa, I love her!), but this just goes to show how masterful Martin is at creating compelling characters people identify with and are passionate about. I just can't wait to get into the next book and start on Jaime and Brienne's interactions!!
