    Just finished Clash of Kings and am now starting SoS...

    And all I can say is....WOW. Great books. Hoping for more Robb in this one.

    I was reading from the nook iPhone app... Nearly threw my phone across the room when "it" happened... Only to pick it up again and actually throw it at the end of the very next chapter when....

    No spoilers. Sorry. I am angry just thinking about it again though.

    Don't worry about that too much, just don't get comfortable with anyone (and i mean ANYONE) living very long.

    These type of responses, while not revealing anything specific, change the way you read a book. Especially with these books with the way the chapters are titled. I already quit the GoT TV series thread because people couldn't resist talking about later events. I thought this one was going to be safe because OP (you) clearly stated he had just started reading this book.

    More info in the spoiler tag below. It's a spoiler tag for obvious reasons.

    Not directed to you at all, TBC. I am in the same boat, just half a book ahead. Loving them, can't put this one down hardly.

    Savor it.

    He really peaks in Book 3. Feast of Crows and Dance with Dragons are good, but not superlative like Storm of Swords.

    Is Davos going to play a role in this? His story bores me so far. I don't like his 'character arc' as scottsins would say.

    Just started A Dance with Dragons. Glad to see some of the regular characters back....... kinda sad knowing that I have almost caught up with the series and that it may be a while for the next one to release if GRRM takes his sweet time.

    I just finished Feast after a long hiatus......gonna start dance tonight. I thought Feast overall was pretty decent.

  26. #26
    People that say Feast sucks are probably the same people who say Wire Season 2 sucks. They both rock

    Finished this last week and have started Feast. SoS was my favorite I think. Ups and downs all throughout.

    I am at page 700 in Feast and it's finally picked up. You just have to trudge through it.

    it's not that Feast is a bad book, it's just that you have to read it immediately after you're done with the awesomeness that is SoS

    the last book had a gordian knot in it that took him a long time to work his way through. now that he's done it i think he's interested in his characters again and has mapped out how to get this thing done.
