Title: A Storm of Swords

Author: George R. R. Martin

Summary: Is George R.R. Martin for real? Can a fantasy epic actually get better with each new installment? Fans of the genre have glumly come to expect go-nowhere sequels from other authors, so we're entitled to pinch ourselves over Martin's tightly crafted Song of Ice and Fire series. The reports are all true: this series is the real deal, and Martin deserves his crown as the rightful king of the epic. A Game of Thrones got things off to a rock-solid start, A Clash of Kings only exceeded expectations, but it's the Storm of Swords hat trick that cements Martin's rep as the most praiseworthy fantasy author to come along since that other R.R. (Yep, that about sums it up XD)

My Thoughts: Oh god, am I really finished with this 1128 page book already? That was a breeze! HAHA OMG I AM SO KIDDING. I've been reading this for months. After reading A Clash of Kings in about a week, it saddens me that it took me so long to read this book. But it's not for lack of trying or for lack of interest. I loved ASOS just as much or more than the first two. This series is amazing in general. I'll be seriously depressed when the series is over and there aren't any more to read... :(

Rating: 10/10
