Hi Sharon. Firstly, I would like to express that I have a bias in that I enjoy just about everything thing this author has written. Having said that, I add:

Although the storyline was enjoyable, I thought it didn't quite seem to carry the same level of passion and intensity as some of its predecessors in this series. However, the mastery of the author's story telling enables it to shine, and if you enjoy his style of writing, I don't you'll be disappointed.

I hope my opinion helps. :)

I guess I'll read it then. I too read everything by him, though some of the Courtney saga and 2 of the Egyptians are pedestrian.

Yes. It was a terrible, terrible affair. And SO damn shocking! There was no way anyone could've predicted it!


message 230: by Arbaaz (new)

Arbaaz Khan (arbaazkhan1999) | 588 comments Actually there was but no body noticed it. First, the prediction from dany's visions at the house of the undying, and second, check out the episode of game of thrones "blackwater". The one with the battle of the blackwater bay. There was a scene where varys says to tyrion about a wedding and some bells. Check it out.
