This is the ending that book three should have had. The first half, A Storm of Swords: Steel and Snow, just wasn't strong enough to stand on its own. But that's okay as the second half more than makes up for it. From the off, there are bodies. Not just secondary characters either, but people we thought were going to be key players in The Game.A number of characters get built out a lot more as well. Jamie continues his transition to three-dimensions with the start of a conscience. Stannis starts

What the actual fuck was that ending?? I was not prepared? And I need answers

O.OOkay. You know what time it is (besides 9.00 p.m. on a Tuesday night) - ASoIaF gif reaction time!So, after an extended break after reading A Clash of Kings, it was time to jump into A Storm of Swords. And everything was good. .. Even the Davos chapters. Until.. And though slightly spoiled for part of the story, I was entirely unprepared for the feels. At first I was all, "This book is DEAD TO ME." Then my grief became anger. Then resignation..

DAMN GOOD!! Nothing is predictable, no main character is safe. Starks bled heavily. Lannisters bled. Winter is coming for everyone. Valar morghulis.

"Always keep your foes confused. If they are never certain who you are or what you want, they cannot know what you are like to do next." This book is pure genius. It made me wince in pain when a few of my favourite characters were murdered. It made me dizzy with joy when my most despised and hated character was murdered. And it made me feel all the little things in between during the whole span of A Storm of Swords. "Weddings have become more perilous than battles, it would seem." I loved t

“We look up at the same stars and see such different things.”God that took me months and months! At first I couldn't find the motivation, then there were other books I desperately wanted to read. So this giant of a book had to wait.When I finally picked it up again, I finished it in a week. While I had a slow start (I really did not want to read about the Red Wedding), I didn't want to put it down again. The plot thickened and every single chapter was intruiging, even those of the less interesti...

Seven hells...what did I just read?😱🐺A Storm of Swords or as I call it the wedding book is by far the best book in the series ASOIAF!Long yes, but for those of you who have watched or heard about the series this book describes the events we have watched both in season 3 and 4 ! Though, I have to say I have read about things they never showed us in the series(YET?) and I'm not talking about about small details, I'm talking about major stuff...Well I can't say anymore without spoiling something..B...

“Night’s King was only a man by light of day...but the night was his to rule. And it’s getting dark.”This one is definitely a game changer! I’ve never known so many major and minor characters to be killed off in a book - must be some kind of record! I really can’t say a lot without spoilers. The war for the iron throne is ongoing but it seems being away from the battle can be just as deadly as fighting in it! “It was not for murder that the gods punished him...but for slewing a guest under his r...

My favourite book of the series so far! I will not ruin it for anybody, but this book turned me into an emotional reck in the best and worse possible ways. It gave me moments were I found myself jumping round like a child who actually did get a pony for christmas, moments when I bawled like a baby and finally, moments when I was yelling my head off, threatening to never read another page and swearing like a banshee. This series needs to form part of everyone's life - it is so unpredictable and e...

Even though I knew what was going to happen, I was SO not prepared for any of this. This installment is by far my favourite so far!

Do you remember that bit in the Scream movie where Stu Macher (played by Matthew Lillard), turns to all the other film geeks and sets out the now famed set of rules for surviving a horror film and making it into the sequel? (FYI those rules were: Never have sex. Do not drink and never say “i’ll be right back”)Well someone should be writing a similar set of rules for the characters in the Song of Fire and Ice Series because, oh boy are these guys in trouble. Despite the numerous sellswords, hedge...

“In King’s Landing, there are two sorts of people. The players and the pieces.” A Storm of Swords is responsible for so many of the now-iconic moments from Game of Thrones. The Red Wedding, The Purple Wedding, (view spoiler)[ Tyrion's trial and Tywin's death, Oberyn Martell and Gregor Clegane's fight, Daenerys conquering of the cities, especially Astapor (hide spoiler)] and so much more. So it's not surprising this is such a well-loved instalment of the series. I do have to agree with the mas

Without the distraction of the TV show I’ve promised myself to finally catch up with the rest of A Song of Ice and Fire.I really don’t know why I’ve been procrastinating so long as these books are amazing!Even though I’m aware of the game changing elements in this volume, GrrM’s layered writing with plenty of for shadowing is just incredible.I’m not the biggest fantasy reader but I love the characters and world he has created.For this volume I decided to limit myself to just a couple of POV’s a

Oh my bloody hell and fuck...Dear George,I have read A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, and A Storm of Swords one after another and in any spare moment over the last couple of months. As a result, I think that this reality is starting to take over. My emotional involvement in the lives of your characters is reaching an unhealthy depth, and your brutality with them is breaking my motherfucking heart. I just finished ASOS a moment ago, and said motherfucking heart is beating some serious drum an...

I have slowly been making my way through the Song of Ice and Fire series and this has been my favourite of what I have read so far. In case you are wondering I have watched all of the TV show so I do know what is going to happen in the books before I read them but this doesn’t really bother me. I won’t go into detail about the plot of this book as I wouldn’t want to spoil it for anyone but I would definitely recommend to anyone who hasn’t yet picked up the series. All of my favourites characters...

A Storm of Swords: Steel and Snow (A Song of Ice and Fire #3, Part 2 of 2), George R.R. MartinA Storm of Swords is the third of seven planned novels in A Song of Ice and Fire, a fantasy series by American author George R. R. Martin. It was first published on August 8, 2000, in the United Kingdom,[1] with a United States edition following in November 2000. Its publication was preceded by a novella called Path of the Dragon, which collects some of the Daenerys Targaryen chapters from the novel int...

AT LAST I SEE THE LIGHT!Allow me to finally applaud you, George R.R. Martin without apprehension or dissatisfaction, without a hint of weariness or disappointment. Allow me to finally pass beyond the "I want to love it, but I don't" into "I was swept away by fire and ice and I ascend now as a different woman". My favourite things about this book:1) Jon Snow's every move (the light of my heart)2) Jaime's journey to discover morals, honor and true loveNow, I can't tell you what it was about this i...

Possibly the most devastating, awesome, exciting and surprising instalment yet, and I'm starting to get a sneaking suspicion that the real story is only just starting...If you'd told me during the first book that by this point I would be pinning all of my hopes on The Hound and Jaime freaking Lannister, of all people, I'd have thought you were certifiable. But that would appear to be where we are at the moment, with Jaime in particular evolving into being one of the more interesting characters.C...

WHAT IN THE NAME OF SEVEN BLOODY HELLS DID I JUST READ? This book is phenomenal. Full of stabbing, gutting, betrayal and a lot. There is bloody battle everywhere. What would happen if there is a war? Just imagine.Every character has grown a lot but how long would they live, we don’t know. Now I know why George R.R Martin is well known for the characters death. Simply can’t explain my bloody love for this book. I was disappointed with its first part, but man this book surpassed all my expectatio

Review to be updated. Thousands of stars for this book I can say that A Storm of Swords is the best book in the series so far ! I loved the second part way more because of the things that happened in it, a lot of deaths and actions that I can't lie but love and get angry. What happened in this book is actually two seasons from the TV show. This was a brilliant read, I'm so happy about this book like ; I get so happy when I read a masterpiece just like this one. I can't wait to finish the books
