A STORM OF SWORDS! What a great title.

A Storm of Swords by George R. R. Martin

Big book but freakin' awesome. I'm at this point now of continual reading that it's becoming harder to distinguish what exactly is happening in each book, especially because the books are so long that what happens in the beginning seems a book away from what happens at the end. BUT A Storm of Swords means now--some new POV characters which is exciting, and some real schiz going down with the Lannisters and the STARKS! HOLY CRAP. Why oh why did he do that to the Starks? And OH MY GOD, the last SCENE! THE EPILOGUE! THE RESURRECTED LADY! There isn't a lot of magic in the series which I really like, and when he blends it in with his psycho religious lady Melisandre, and then with that Dondarrion fellow, it just WORKED OUT. Ah!

I found a lot of joy with Arya, Jaime, Sansa and Tyrion as usual, and particularly found Tyrion's arc tragic and sorrowful. I can only hope things will work out and that we'll see Sansa and her Hound back together soon! :)

Also, Theon, you suck, but stay strong.

9/10
