Rereading, following watching the HBO series. It's fun to see variations after watching, rather than being annoyed because I remember the book too clearly.

Such a rich story, filled with so much detail, the world comes to life easily.. when I read this it was before the show came out.. and I distinctly remember that I could not put this book down. I read the whole thing without stopping except to sleep or go to the bathroom. The true definition of a page turner if you ask me. As were the other books in this series.

I understand it is not for everyone. It’s gruesome and there are a million names to content with... so I can see a lot of people hating it.. but for me it felt so epic.. and it was written so very well. I loved it.
