This one was starting to wear on me, so much misfortune to so many…and, as others have noted, so long. Even though I was listening to the audio version, I found myself skimming (hitting that "advance 15-second button" during the overly-detailed descriptions of clothing or feasts. I haven't seen the television series, so I came to this book series with no expectations other than the desire to be in on the popular culture phenomena and to be able to discuss it with my daughter and nephew. I read a lot of science fiction and high fantasy so know the genre well. This is, to be sure, good and has some excellent world-building (especially in regards to Daenerys and the Wildings), but I am not the rabid fan that many are. There's so much great work out there; read it all!
