I looooove maps! ( )

Of the 12 maps the boxed set contains, some could have been left out - they just depict more of the same in various levels of detail.

There is only one map in the set ("Journeys") which will actually link to the story, all the others are just - maps.

I miss a better color index for the various travellers on the "Journeys" map (the color codes are nowhere explicitely shown), and I miss the chronological dimension, so there is no indication about Who was Where When...

Overall, a must-have for the hardcore Ice-and-Fire fans, but not up to my expectations. ( )

Twelve large, beautiful maps of the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, including some areas that have yet to figure in the series. Notice, though, that there is no scale, which draws attention to the fact the GRRM is remarkable cavalier about time-space relationships. If one reads closely, he will see that the ravens of Westeros must have iron wings and jet propulsion! ( )
