Storm of Swords Review

      As usual, Martin has written another amazing book. Also unchanging is my reason for reading this one at the current time: so the show doesn't ruin anything. As mentioned from by previous blog, there are parts in the 2nd season that doesn't officially occur until the third book. On the positive side, I am far enough ahead that I won't have to read the fourth book for awhile, but on the negative side, I am addicted to the series and can't wait that long to read the fourth book. I am hoping to read it this summer, but I am also applying to medical schools and taking the MCAT and a bunch of other things so it is a wait-and-see kind of thing. 
     Alright, to the book... Martin is an amazing writer and if you haven't read him yet, you should. Even if it not part of the Song of Fire and Ice series (although you have to read that too!). What I find truly exhilarating about this book is that there are so many HUGE twists and cliffhangers. Of course there is still a lot of gore, sex, and ... characters. There never seems to be any less characters, even if they die, Martin makes sure to put one or two in their place. That is a slight annoyance, but there are so many things happening at once that is becomes a necessity. There is only so much that I can say about the plot before it gives something away either from this book or the first two books. I guess I can tell you some of my favorite characters. To me, the most interesting characters are Bran,  Daenerys , Tyrion, and Arya. They are and/or were awesome characters. That reminds me of an awesome saying I heard about George R. R. Martin recently: "The first rule of GRRM is never get attached." Very apt I would say.
     The rating of this will be high, and I am kind of feeling bad because I haven't read any "bad" books so it seems like I rate all of the ones I read highly. This is not the case; it is usually just that I pre-screen books before I read them so I don't waste any of my valuable time. Hopefully this persuades some people (*cough cough* this means YOU readers) to read this!

Give me some feedback! It is lonely at the computer ;)
