Review: A Storm of Swords

A Storm of Swords A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Wow. Incredibly long. Quite a slog. More than once I considered giving up but like on occasion, there are sections that fly and sing and move the great narrative forward. Unfortunately, it seems that after two great books in the traditon of Tolkein, Martin decided that he had forgotten in the first two portions of the series to spew forth for long passages on history and song and ancillary storylines. Guess he decided to make up for it here. This book could have been half the length.
