I am ashamed to admit that I only read this after I had seen the TV series. Now I have to pick up the next in the series and the next and the next.

I am constantly looking at the Goodreads group lists for recommendations, especially for categories that I only read once in a while. When the Song of Ice and Fire series was mentioned time after time as a favorite in the science fiction and fantasy genre, I decided to give it a try - and I am hooked. The characters are real and engaging and the pace is quick, and you never know what will happen next - or who will survive to appear in the next book....

Highly recommended.

This was a long book! I enjoyed reading this. It is colorful and fully descriptive. The story is enhanced by love, violence, action, deceit, mystery, war, magic and all kinds of other good things! I am usually not all that fond of monster size books but that seems to be synonymous with the fantasy genre. I did start on the second tome as well.
