A Storm of Swords, Part One: Steel and Snow
by George R.R. Martin
I'm going to stick with a 4 star rating for this one.
The thing that I find about the ASOIAF novels is that most of the action comes in the latter half of the novel. So, seeing as this is the first half of Book 3, you can probably understand that there wasn't as much action as I had hoped. I know with the Red Wedding coming up in the next instalment, things will definitely get a lot more interesting. That isn't to say that this book was bad, though. I loved getting to know more about Robb and his Northern takeover. Anyone I've text during my reading of this book knows that I have an insane love for Richard Madden (who plays Robb in the show), so of course that love extends to Robb himself.
I'm seeing a different side to Jaime in this one, but I'm still not sure whether or not I can trust him. He is, after all, a Lannister. His interactions with Brienne are quite insightful I think. I'm appreciating the interaction between them, just because it's so unexpected. Definitely intrigued to see where that goes from here.
I was shocked to see the marriage that took place in this one (no spoilers from me). I would like to say it was unexpected but then again, Sansa hasn't exactly had the best luck in this novel. By far, though, I look forward the most to Daenerys' chapters; they're the most interesting in terms of storyline. All the battles and wars with the other characters can get a little confusing at times, but I never tire of Dany being a badass mother of dragons. #Dracarys
