المشكلة اني ما قدرت أوقف قرأت تقريبًا ١٠٠ صفحة في جلسة واحدة ورجعت اليوم الثاني متحمسة أقرأ أكثر. الرواية سحرتني وسحبتني لعالمها وعوائلها وسياستها وشخصياتها بشكل سلس وسريع! بعد ما قرأت النصف الأول من الكتاب استوعبت أنه ما فيه مشاهد قذرة كثير نفس ما توقعت، ما أنكر أنه فعلا مليان بأفكار ووصف منافي للأخلاقيات بس مو طويل ولا بسوء اللي مر عليا في كتب ثانية وفصول دنيرس أكثر من غيرها.
التصنيف فانتازيا لكن السحر والخيال لحد الآن بسيط مرة. أكثر شي جذبني في الرواية انها فيها درجة من الواقعية بمعنى أنه مو كل شي يصير في صالح البطل والشخص الخيّر (اللي أثبته الكاتب بقوة...
الكاتب فنان من ناحية بناء العالم والشخصيات ورسم المشهد، أما المترجم هشام فهمي دائمًا يبهرني في كيف يقدر يخلي الكتاب كأنه كتب بالعربية!! مبدع!
ند ستارك، شخصيتي المفضلة، الشريف، المخلص، الوفي، الوحيد اللي قلبه نظيف في وستروس كلها. كنت أحب فصوله وكل ما مر بفترة صعبة في القلعة الحمراء اتذكر كيف كان وهو وعائلته في وينترفل وأتمنى يرجعون للحياة الطبيعية هناك، كله من لايسا الزفت وكاتلين اللي أعطتها وجه وضغطت على زوجها يصير يد الملك 😭 المصيبة ان لايسا طلعت مجنونة واحدة مي صاحية ما ينأخذ منها لا حق ولا باطل. وبسببها ند فقد أهم رجاله وانكسرت رجله وبعدها الإصبع الصغير وسرسي تسببوا في حبسه في زنزانة مظلمة أيااام بدون أكل لين تعفنت رجله وكنت شايلة هم انه يفقدها تماما وجاء الزفت العنكبوت فارس ودخل كلام براسه واقنعه ان الشرف والصدق ما راح ينقذ بناته عشان كذا لازم يعترف بالخيانة اللي ما ارتكبها اصلا!!!! وبعد اعترافه... جوفري التافه المختل النرجسي المدلل المتوحش أمر باعدامه قدام كل الناس وبناته الاثنيننننن 😭😭😭😭 هذا الإنسان الشريف يموت بهذا الشكل؟!! المرة الوحيدة اللي تخلى فيها عن مبادئه وكله في سبيل سلامة بناته واخرتها على ولا شي. انقهرت وحزنتتتت قلت يمكن يرجع يمكن مو هو اللي مات يمكن يصير زي الآخرون مدري أي حاجة أهم شي ند يعيش. بس ما فيه فايدة من الإنكار ند مات خلاص
اف خلاص حزنت ما ابغى اكمل المراجعة 🥲
المهم يعجبوني روب وجون سنو وآريا الرهيبة اللي ما أدري ايش صار عليها ذحين وكمان سام تارلي وجون مورمنت والبايسل الأعمى والعجوز نان وبران وحتى هودور المسكين

Stylistically, Martin’s prose and tone remains the same however he is able to invigorate each character with a distinct voice that makes it clear who the narrative is following. It’s hard not to become invested in the characters Martin has crafted here: even those which are deliberately unlikable are fascinatingly complex, making you root for them in spite of yourself. For me, the stand-out characters are Daenerys, Jon, Catelyn, Tyrion and Sansa. Not only does this book give a fascinating insight into their characters and their motivations, it shows just how clever, funny, cruel and kind all three are — the depth of which is lacking when it comes to their on-screen counterpoints. Personally, I am a Sansa apologist — that little girl can do no wrong.

The story is definitely not for the faint of heart, as many scenes personally made me feel squeamish and uncomfortable. The detail written in these scenes make you feel like you are witnessing them yourselves and you can sense the dread and hopelessness. There are also many moments where you feel hopeful and optimistic. Overall though, the feeling of dread is the most prominent.
I am planning to continue reading the series, and if the later books are as good as this one, I am excited to see where the world of A Song of Ice and Fire is headed.
