Cold winds are rising through Westeros, five Pretenders are getting reading to claim what belongs in their mind to them, the Iron Throne. Neither of them is standing back from deadly plots, deceit and murderous claims. War is definitely coming, there is no one to trust, and everyone fights for themselves, even if it’s family.
George R.R. Martin has truly created one of the greatest epic masterpieces, and the story continues.
I know this series from TV, and although I saw how the story progressed, I always find something new in the books, some detail that adds to the bigger picture. It’s a truly long story to read, but you get used to the various characters and places, written in detail as if you were there yourself. I never had the feeling to be bored, the author has a way of telling that captures you to the end.
I can’t wait to start the third instalment, in pursuit of unseen tidbits on TV.
