It does feel a bit slow at the beginning except for the characters I like most, but by the last quarter I would say I didn't want to put it down and only did so because I had work or school. Looking forward to the next one.

It was good but slower paced that I’m used to and did have to drag myself through it to some points. That ending though 👌

PROS: Having read a book that has become part of the fantasy canon, epic in scope, thoughtful in detail and world-building, and genius exposition, characterization and plotting. It also launched arguably the best television series ever produced—it you don’t think about the final seasons.

ONE SMALL CON: Over-sexualized treatment of Daenerys Targaryen. We all know she’ll be bestowed with great power and might, but in this first book, descriptions of her made me queasy as a woman.
