3.0

Okay while I am intrigued by the story, I perhaps made the mistake of thinking of this book in comparison with the TV show (which, incidentally, I prefer).

I have an issue with the pontificating style in which the characters speak throughout, and I find them to be, for the most part, rather whiny. While I was torn between 2 and 3 stars, I decided to at least give this book credit for making me want to keep reading the series.
