George R.R. Martin is an extremely talented writer. His ability to have truly unique writing styles and vocabulary for each character is amazing. I can put this book down for a while, in the middle of a chapter, and pick it back up and know exactly whose view point I'm in without having to look at the beginning of the chapter.
The storyline is enchanting and encompassing, and very difficult to put down. This series is really one that any person can find a connection to.
It seems that Martin definitely has a knack for balancing drama, intrigue, and a decent but not over whelming dash of fantasy to it. Every book seems to get better, than the last one. The tv adaptation to the books has been well done, even with the changes and mixing of facts, the trueness of the books is still there.
More twists and turn and an ending I would have never seen coming. A Storm of Swords is a another rollercoaster ride for the players and pieces in The Game of Thrones. This is also one of those series installments where big important changes come. A turning point for the characters. Never a dull moment, fluid and well written.If you have watched The Game of Thrones series, read the books anyway. There is so much more that isn't covered or changed for tv adaptation. I do really enjoy the series too. So if you haven't seen it check it out.
Highly recommended, just be ready to refer to the character glossary(in the back of every book) every once an a while.
