A little too much incest and rape for me to truly enjoy, but the drama is pretty unmatched. 

I would also have liked a little more info on the Night's Watch.

First of all, what a nostalgic roller-coaster ride. definitely seen the huge change some of them had in the show, which incredibly sucked to know why they did it. Characters I'd kill for.

Daenerys... oh dany. she's an epic tale and i could never not say MOTHER

Sansa I FW u heavily so bad 😭 like thats my stark fr. i pray 

Arya is wicked and her arc was a bit slow but we're getting there

Ned 💔😭😭

Catelyn.. i love her but at the same time she did have her faults.. but i can never blame her cause shes just a mother.

BRAN SO FAWKING BORING BRAH im so sorry.

Jon snow youre cute.

all in all asoiaf women.. they all have me. waiting for the future povs on the clash of kings!

Truly, this is a beast of a book. I love the character development of Daenerys, Robb, and Jon especially. While the book didn't make me immediately love the characters, I found that I really grew attached to them throughout the process of reading, really caring for some and truly hating others. Overall, it's a truly amazing piece of fiction. I look forward to buying and reading the rest of the currently available series. Definitely for more mature readers, and I think if you like Brandon Sanderson, these books are right up your alley (and vis versa), though be prepared for much darker themes and descriptions.

I watched the TV series before reading the book and I think it made it easier to keep the characters straight. Otherwise I think all the names and people could be overwhelming to keep track of while understanding the world.

The book is less graphic than the TV show. There are characters you love and ones you love to hate. It is a wild ride in search of justice and peace.
