Warning The dragons in this review are named Giant and Spoilers I have tried to shield most of them from view, but don t get mad at me if one of them burns you With this book, it was bound to happen.This one was a real mudfight Between me, myself and I Me didn t get beyond SQUEEE for several hundred pages,Myself, while also trying to get over her grammatically awkward name, came up with the logical reasoning why this reaction was totally okay and based on something other than left over teenage h [...]

Dear George R.R Martin Hello My name is Inigo Montoya You may have killed my favorite character Prepare to die roll in dough as we continue buying your brick sized creations The above is what you d expect from a book titled A Dance with Dragons Disclaimer For the vast majority of this book s pages, none of it happens Yes, I have a few problems with this latest installment in GRRM s neverending magnum opus I have high standards for GRRM after ASOIAF 1 3 Hey, I read GRRM before I ever read Tolkien [...]

Words are wind, says George R R Martin GRRM no less than 13 times in the latest installment of his A Song of Ice and Fire series In this incredibly windy tome there was very little advancement of the overall story and no resolution to any of the myriad plot threads Instead, most of the book followed characters travelling, yet in its 1,000 pages only one reaches his destination while the rest are still travelling.Words are wind, and GRRM is a windbag His predilection for overwriting is ridiculous [...]

Tyrion Lannister s horse was rubbing him raw as they rode onward, the branches of the trees above them swaying in a branch like way Ravens flew about among them, and clouds of dust hovered like halos around the hooves of their steeds Wiping sweat from his brow, Tyrion spoke to yet another minor character you ve never seen before I hear that the Morvin and the Shornpel clans have sided with Darvus Farier from the great city of Bee Eff Eee, and are pushing forward late king Baratheon s bastard s s [...]

This is the review I did for the Sunday Express It only appeared in hardcopy so I can t link it.Since it s a national newspaper and many of the readers may never have read a fantasy book, let alone the first four in the ASOIAF series, the review is less about this book and about the series and the author I hope to make them the gift of a great reading experience My rating for the book is set in the context of the alternative works of fantasy on the shelves rather than in an attempt to rank this [...]

I rose too high, loved too hard, dared too much I tried to grasp a star, overreached, and fell I did it This is the longest book I have ever read And while I am proud of myself, I also hope it will stay that way GRRM better not let the sequels be longer than this beast.Once again, I had a slow start Once again, this took me than a month Once again, there was things I liked and disliked, chapters I enjoyed and parts where I wished neither I nor the author had such a vivid imagination Some things [...]

Wow Another one down Each of these books are so incredibly long that it feels like a major accomplishment to complete them I feel like I should get a merit badge or something.Nonetheless, this epic saga continues While I didn t see a lot of forward movement, I appreciated the time spent with some of my favorite characters Mr Martin is not one to spare details, and this book is full of them.That being said, I spent a lot of time feeling lost As if there weren t enough characters already, Mr Marti [...]

Martin himself describes the writing process of Feast The last one was a bitch and of ADWD This one was three bitches and a bastard If the author had trouble writing it It s not surprising that it is also three bitches and a bastard to read Presumably the first 3 books were easier to write, I also found them far enjoyable to read I think part of my difficulty with reading ADWD is my refusal to skip anything, I never felt this urge to in the 1st 3 books I read this today and thought it was very [...]

So where were the dancing dragons This book was so bad Not a single dragon danced once I m so disappointed Gosh I may not even read the next one You call that dancing I m, of course, kidding When the next book comes out I will devour it in an angry sort of way It s been far, far, far, too long Well, I should say if the next book comes out But, let s not go there it is far too painful to think about I m annoyed at the wait I ll curse George R.R Martin for leaving me in suspense, but I ll then pra [...]

So, this is it The dragons were supposed to dance, instead they barely spread their wings And I am left thinking, this is it My complaint by the way, is not about the wait itself I think I have been waiting since 1998 for this this was supposed to be book 3 sometime in the past After a few years of waiting, I think I managed to ignore it by ruthlessly ignoring almost all discussion of anything related to these books for years Other authors take their time Megan Whalen Turner seems to also take 5 [...]

This was a struggle between what I wanted to feel and what I felt I m not going to lay false claim to being an early convert to George R.R Martin s A Song of Ice and Fire cycle To the contrary, up until April 17, 2011, I spent a great deal of time passively ignoring fantasy in general, and Martin in particular By passively ignoring, I mean I lived my daily life without ever thinking about the topic However, on that date, HBO premiered Game of Thrones Within three minutes, people were being decap [...]

ENGLISH A Dance with Dragons ITALIANOThe fifth chapter of A song of ice and fire is yet another confirmation that George R.R Martin, in the field of the epic medieval fantasy, is the most worthy successor of J.R.R Tolkien The universe molded by Martin is described with a manic cure and with so many details that some readers are rather disappointed, accusing the work to be too long and or boring I do not agree Game of Thrones has become what we today know exactly thanks to the painful precision o [...]

At the risk of getting thoroughly stomped by series fans, this was the first book where I really felt it was ok is the best I can say of it It s wildly scattered all over the landscape of the current story, both in term of physical location and in terms of characters There are so many new characters, new armies, new leaders, new kings, new slaves, new queens, and new vicious psychopaths that it s impossible to keep track of everyone, even if I wanted to I know fans will say that s what the list [...]

Well, I guess we know now why Martin took so long to release this latest volume it s a steaming mess.Forget for a moment the fact that of the many principal POV characters, only one Jon Snow has any discernible character arc throughout the tome s 940 pages Forget too that the only female POV characters Cersei and Dany, and even Asha in her first chapter can scarcely go two pages without pining lustily and pathetically for their male paramours Don t trouble yourself with the chapters Victarion, D [...]

Whenever I ve heard about other people s favorite books that they reread once a year, I m puzzled by the fact that they say that they find new things every time when reading Not every time, is it In fact whenever I reread a Dance with Dragons, I get lost at the very same place, my most treasured book parts are the self same I don t read the book to hone any detective skill that might be lying dormant in me, but for pure pleasure.I know the book has problems, but I say that it wouldn t do to foll [...]
