Genial continuación para la saga. Aun habiendo visto la serie y sabiendo que esperar, lo disfrute. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Ladies and gentlemen, this book had me in a CHOKEHOLD!

I might never recover from this one.

I read this book every single chance I got, and when I wasn't reading it, I was thinking about reading it.

The people wanted more drama, and George R.R. Martin DELIVERED!

I've never read a series where each book is better than the previous one. The families are so messy, and I am LIVING FOR IT. In this story, I feel like we really get a deep dive into what each character is like and the reasons for the things that they do or have done.

I honestly thought GRRM couldn't surprise and shock me any more than he already has, but let me tell you, I was wrong! I WAS SO VERY, VERY WRONG!

I will tell you right now that if you are looking to see more Theon Greyjoy or Ramsey Bolton in this book, you will be disappointed. Only in that aspect, though, because this book is phenomenal with a capital P.

The pettiness has been upped a notch in this one, my friends. It is messy, petty, sloppy, and dramatic all at once.

Two thumbs up is not enough for this story. GRRM gave us pure perfection on the pages.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
5 Stars= It was an excellent and near perfect read. I would read it again.

I loved the first two books, but thought that this one was even a step above those! I had a hard time picking my favorite chapter (between The Red Wedding, The Purple Wedding, and the duel of Tyrion's Trial I think), favorite characters (Brienne of Tarth, Tyrion, or Jamie), and favorite quote ("chaos isn't a pit, chaos is a ladder.").

"A Storm of Swords" is the third book in "A Song of Ice and Fire" series. It continues the epic saga of political intrigue, power struggles, and warfare in the fiction continent of Westeros. The book sees the fallout from the War of the Five Kings intensify with shocking betrayals, unexpected alliances, and devastating consequences for the characters involved leading to a climactic and unforgettable conclusion.
