A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin

5.0

Another masterpiece by fantasy author George R.R. Martin. Continuing the landmark A Song of Ice and Fire series, A Storm of Swords delivers what Martin's readers crave: adventure, bloodlust, love, all mixed together in a frenzied world of war, betrayal, and death.
This book, as well as the entire series, is not the typical wizard/dragon/magic fantasy that people think of. It is only slightly similar to The Lord of the Rings trilogy. It is much more similar to the real-life middle ages. There are knights, kings, queens, jousts, and a war for the throne. It is a very exciting book, and has some very shocking plot twists that will make you gasp.
