A Storm of Swords
WARNING – SPOILERS!!!
Right…where to begin…you may need a notepad from this point
on. So, as of book two there are five kings after the Iron Throne. This bloody
war continues in the third instalment of a Song
of Ice and Fire which introduces yet (can you believe it) even more characters
to the fold making the book so big it had to be published in two halves in
order to be possible to read properly.
In true George Martin tradition some of the main characters
are killed off suddenly, you’ll need to re-read those bits to gather every
detail or you won’t believe who dies and who lives. Pay particular attention
when reading the Red Wedding. This is truly a heartwrenching part of the books
for any Stark fan and has led to the possibility of no future invites for
Martin to any weddings!
I’m sure I’m not the only one who physically cheered when
Jeoffrey dies! And about bloody time too! However, I must admit I struggled
reading about the following champion battle. Only one word comes to mind about
that…YUK!
This is truly the point at which George Martin decided to do
his weeding.
So much happens in this book I really don’t know what to say
in this review other than you need to read it!!!!! From forbidden love to
betrayal to hacked off limbs this book has it all and you will need a good long
rest when you are finished reading it for the whole ten seconds it will take
you to want the next one.
