NO!!!!Ugggh not another fantasy series that my dear husband and brother in law trick me into reading.

You want to like the main characters but one of my favorites will not make it to the next book!! We were so mad at times that we threw the book down and threatened to stop reading it only to pick it back up again.

With the show coming up and my Nook with me all the time I decided to purchase all 4 and reread them. What a great idea. I read this first when it came out and have waited all these years with all the other fans. But I only read them once and it was high time to remember why I loved them so much.

I watched the first season of the HBO series before reading the book so I think it made things easier to follow. There are a lot of plot lines, a lot of names and plenty of story lines left hanging at the end of this book. Well written and fast paced.
