Speechless. Though at times it was hard to imagine scenes and characters apart from the television series, Martin is able to truly grab hold of you by every heartstring you have and bring you along for the most beautiful, painful, frustrating adventure you’ve ever embarked on. Even if you feel watching the show first will taint your experience reading this series for the first time, as I originally did, please throw those concerns to the wind and set sail on this epic adventure. You won’t be disappointed. Enjoy. Winter is coming.
