I haven't read this tome, but, following the TV adaptation of 'Game of Thrones' I read all five of that series and thoroughly enjoyed them.<br /><br />My wife has been an avid reader of Martin, and I had seen the books lying around the house, but not being a great reader of SF or 'Fantasy' for many years, had ignored them. Then 'Game of Thrones' appeared on Sky and although I found the story at times fairly confusing with its plethora of characters and locations, found it quite captivating - sort of 'Wars of the Roses' meets 'Dune'. I then thought I would start to read the story as the second series began its showing and found it difficult to put down. One of the great things I have found, as my wife pointed out, was the way Martin is quite willing to set up 'heroes' and then kill them off. I am now waiting on the sixth book of the series, though it could be some time coming!<br /><br />Anyway, I think I will have a look at some of Martin's other works like this one that you highlight.Paulnoreply@blogger.com
