Buckle up, folks, because I’m gonna do this quick and dirty. I took almost a fucking year to finish this book, because I kept putting it down, leaving it for months at a time, picking it up again, realizing that I have to start from the beginning since so much time has passed, putting it down again, rinse, repeat, etc.
Oh, and it’s long too. Yea, we can see that by the size of this book, but I mean it in the sense that GRR Martin really does not make these pages the easiest to get through. When I got to the end, I actually couldn’t believe it; I had to flip back through the final chapter just to make sure. I also want to say, for the record, that I liked it and I’m glad I read it. But that in no way means that it wasn’t overly long.
If you want more than two paragraphs for my review, head to my blog!
Must have been something in the air this week that pushed us to finish this book. I just posted my review as well.
Funny thing about this series — this book completely exhausted me, but there’s no question that I’ll keep reading the rest of the books (if they are ever written).
