This book is ssoooooooo long. Probably the longest book I've ever read. By the time I reached the end the beginning was a distant memory. Book three might have to wait a bit for me.
4.5 stars realistically - almost every character is so self centred it drives you insane, but there's a lot more subtlty in the book compared to the tv show

I enjoyed this basically as much as the first book. I did find all of the fighting and strategizing did get dull after a while. I enjoyed Jon, Arya, and Bran's chapters the most, but the most fun chapter was probably Dany in the House of the Undying.

This was a much slower read than the first book. Tons of detail and lots of good story though.

A masterful work of fantasy. Incredible characters, politics, scheming, warring. This is truly everything you look for when reading a fantasy novel.
Perfect. I was looking for more of what Martin deliviered in A Game of Thrones, and he delivered. Looking forward to continuing the series.
