Four contend for power over the Iron Throne and the Land of the Seven Kingdoms; alliances shift, and betrayal is always an option. House Lannister's head, Joffrey, rules uneasily. Joffrey's enemy, Lord Stannis, is disgraced and enthralled. Robb of House Stark still rules the North, implacable in his enmity towards his Lannister foes, even as they hold his sister hostage. And the exiled queen Daenerys, mistress of the world's last three dragons, makes her way across a blood-drenched continent.

reading_fox: One is SF the other Fantasy, they may seem very different. But they're both epic in scope, both at the darker end of the human condition, and the writing style is similar. Both tell much larger stories than just the action of the 'hero'.
I think by far this book is my best read so far. WEll written and the story lines are awesome. I am at 70% of the book and i was totally crying when the Rob and His Wife were Killed. ( )
I did not finish this. I have read 2-1/2 of the 5 GOT volumes, and I need to move on from Martin right now. I probably will come back, but this was a bit too much, one after another. I will say, that Martin spends a tremendous amount of time on scenes and sets, and yes, there are a lot of characters and plot lines, but it became challenging for me to keep track of what is happening to whom. I don't watch the HBO series, so I just need more time to immerse myself in the work. ( )
O terceiro livro da canção de gelo e fogo parece ser um ponto culminante da história e entrega, em meio a sua miríade de personagens e capítulos, alternando diferentes protagonistas, grandes momentos. São normalmente trágicos, e há uma crueldade magistralmente calibrada nesses desfechos, mesmo que um quadro realista permaneça. Mas também há ao menos um momento bastante humorado e que me arrancou risadas. Há nisso a astúcia de dar-nos esperança, dado que a série prossegue. Ademais, é muito interessante como os elementos mágicos começam a temperar um pouco mais a história, sem perder de vista a ideia de "era de ouro perdida" e seu realismo. ( )
Ugh, what a slog. I know many people love the series but it just does not work for me. I like a huge sprawling novel but this one is too unweildy. Too many characters and too many plot lines to really keep them straight and once you get to a point of following a story, it's gone for about 6 or 8 chapters and the whole thing is lost. I can't even remotely attempt to keep track of the minor characters and gave up trying in book 1. Plus the violent deaths and general violence and violent sex is more than I can handle. Clearly, I am in the minority because many love it but not really for me.
With the end of A Storm of Swords, Martin is half finished his epic. However, so little has been revealed that we have only begun to glimpse what the true saga really is. It's as if you are peering through a dirty window, cleaning small portions of it -- one square inch at a time -- so more and more of the room beyond is slowly revealed. Each glimpse uncovers a new wonder, but you can never be sure of exactly what you are seeing.
