This is the third volume of Martin’s lo-o-o-o-ng saga, “A Song of Ice and
Fire”, and I don’t want to say too much about it because I don’t want to
spoil the plot. Suffice it to say that it’s a worthy successor to
A Clash of Crowns; see that review for my
general comments.

I embarked on the 1128 pages of this book with patience in my heart, and
I enjoyed every moment of it thoroughly. Even the walking corpses.
