Reviews:
samharnold (United Kingdom) (2014/06/09): I have to start this review by saying that I love the series of Game of Thrones and am addicted to every episode. It is with this in mind I picked up the first in the series. When I started this book I wondered if I would have enjoyed it more if I had not seen the series. I can only imagine how complicated the range of characters would be to someone who had not had the series to help them. I actually read this book as part of a group read and the feedback from others was that it was too complicated to follow. As a fan I loved the fact that the book offered more information to the series and also helped explain some of the facts I had missed out on from watching the series.
The book generally is well written in easy language which flows well. I progressed through the book at a great speed and greatly enjoyed it. I look forward to reading the next in the series of books to continue through this great adventure.
