valkyrieprincess 's review for:

A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin
3.5
adventurous dark sad tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I'm generally not a fan of fantasy, but somehow I managed to read the entire series. It can get boring at times, sometimes I skip ahead to characters (Dany, the Starks, Jaime, Brienne) I actually care about. There's only so much description of food and clothes I can take lol. I have some criticism like the amount of sexual assault written and the age of the characters. I think the Starks, Dany, and the other teens should have been aged up. I think if you can write magic and dragons into a story, you can make your characters older and not have casual sexual assault described in here.
Anyways, I'm STILL waiting for the final books. I need to know how it ends
