from the very begining, your thrown into what feels like a major family/monarchy soap opera but with more violence! I really enjoy GRRM's writing style. Its what i like to call 'unapologetic' writing, he holds nothing back and writes what he wants. sex, gore, profanity etc but he does it within relevence to what is going on in the book at the time. I read this book in one sitting. I couldnt sleep with my usual boughts with insomnia and found this book very intriguing and suspensfull.

The change from one characters view to another every chapter pissed me off sometimes but its still a damn good read! if anyone wants to read a REAL fantasy book. . This is the series to get!

I have also read the other 3 that GRRM has published so far. The 5th will hopefully be on its way, its taking forever and the natives are getting restless! hahah

anyways i give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. .. i reccomend it to anyone who wants to be shocked, entertained, sickened and suprised!
