It is a good thing I don't give up on books, because I didn't get into this until about page 400. Then it suddenly became awesome. Even the part with the zombies-that-aren't-called-zombies was awesome. I want to read all these books. And I may do so, since I have yet another long-haul international flight coming up this week.

Wow, this book blew me away. I do not typically enjoy fantasy, tend to stay away from it - but this book is worth reading every page. I went in wanting to read how connected it is to the show (which I did finish), and the book did not disappoint; expanding on many characters and plot points. Fantastic.
However, the piece that really blew me way was how (re-)invested I became in the characters. At the beginning, I skimmed through chapters (I am not going to lie). However, very quickly I became invested and even more interested in Tyrion, Bran and Sansa. From there I found Daenerys and Eddard so fascinating, I could not stop reading.
Such an incredibly detailed story. Everything matters, and you can feel it in this book - even if you already have some since of what will happen from the shows. Truly impressive.
