4.0

I am not inclined to give books a 4/5 that is a big score for me. But this book is masterful. The way characters talk is gripping and exciting, the politics in this book are unmatched by anything i have ever read, watched or heard only maybe matched by real life absurdity of politics. The only reason i didnt give this book a 5/5 is because of the fact that the HBO series was still good at adapting the material given by the book. I am excited to read the next books and cant imagine the quality will fall off because of the amount of good things i have heard about the books.
