A Storm of Swords 1: Steel and Snow (A Song of Ice and Fire #3 part 1) by George R. R. Martin

A Storm of Swords 1: Steel and Snow
A Song of Ice and Fire #3 part 1
George R. R. Martin


Front cover

Date read: 10 - 25 April 2018
Length: 569 pages (632 with appendix)

The Seven Kingdoms are at war, never knowing who's friend or foe. Instead of one king to rule them all, they have split and each king claimed a piece for themselves. There's murder, marriage, kidnappings and hostages, and don't forget the dragons!


I can't get enough of ASOIAF!  I am very much enjoying the series and I can't believe I waited so long to read it! I think at first I was a bit daunted by the fact the books are rather large, but that doesn't bother me these days, certainly not as much as when I was younger.

One thing I will say is that there are so many characters that it can get a bit confusing at times. I always like to read the appendix at the end to try to refresh my mind of who's who and where they fit into the story. I think it has definitely helped that I have seen the TV show, and of course the main characters are pretty memorable.

One of my favourite characters has always been Dany, and rather like Arya too. They are both strong females who think for themselves and do what they think is right. I especially like following their stories and I really hope Dany gets back to Westeros and manages to become queen, although I know that will be quite a while yet, if ever!

Very much looking forward to part 2!
