A review by coralinejones
A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin

3.0

original: i gave it all my best efforts but this is ultimately not for me. it's not the length or even the story, but GRRM's obnoxious writing style. i love details but one thing i can't help but knock is how unnecessary so much of his prose feels for me. i feel like i've been given details that do NOTHING for the overall story. i could deal in the first book, the second book was tedious and not enjoyable for me, but this book? i can't take it anymore.

okay well... i ended up finishing it anyway... i liked it the second time around, better than the first attempt. what i wrote above i still feel, but i can't help but acknowledge that when the story gets good, it gets really good
