Helpful Score: 1


I enjoyed reading this book- to an extent. It was very hard to read in the beginning, very dense. But I found the stories compelling, especially since they are told from so many different perspectives. I especially liked both Tyrion Lannister and Arya Stark. I didn't realize this was a series, so when I got to the "end" and it wasn't over, I was a bit annoyed. I did get book two, because I was drawn in, but I keep putting off reading it because it is hard to get through.
I also wanted to add that I was watching the season premiere of True Blood on HBO last night (June, 2010), and during the advertisements for new shows, I saw, curiously: Winter Is Coming. There were several scenes of sword fighting and ladies in royal gowns and then: A Game Of Thrones, 2011. I was quite surprised, but I might consider watching it.
