A Dance with Dragons by George R.R. Martin My rating: 5 of 5 stars I just finished reading A Dance With Dragons, and A Song of Ice and Fire has officially become my favorite fantasy series. Finding words to describe such an intense and powerful reading experience is hard. Over the past months, I have lived the Song of Ice and Fire, experiencing each page with more joy than I could ever expect. I have never read such a long series, and it has been worth the effort. A Dance With Dragons was the best book of the series by far, and it's amazing how intriguing the plot has become. I now join the group of people who wait for The Winds of Winter, uncertain of when it will be released, but reassured that once it's out there, it will be great. Thanks, George R. R. Martin, for creating this world that pulled me in and made me find a place to escape where I could find joy in fantasy. Night gathers, and now my watch begins. View all my reviews

I finished A Feast for Crows and it was another 5-star read!

A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin My rating: 5 of 5 stars I finally finished reading A Feast for Crows! 🤩 I really love this series more and more. A Feast for Crows is the slower book in the series so far pace-wise, but still a beautiful work of writing. I am completely in love with the ASOIAF universe, and this book helps dive into the minds of characters we had not explored before. Being inside Cersei's head was incredible, but if I had to go through another flashback to her visit to Maggy The Frog I think I would go crazy. This book certainly made me miss some of the POVs. I was a little tense when I noticed no Daenerys or Jon chapters, but it worked out just fine. It may be a little challenging compared to the other books so far, but it's definitely worth the investment. We did lose a character at the end of the book that I really liked, I had a rush of adrenaline and couldn't stop mopping and complaining about it for a long time. The character will be missed.

I just finished A Storm of Swords by George R. R. Martin and OMG she is alive!

A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin My rating: 5 of 5 stars I can't believe I finished reading A Storm of Swords! 😮 First of all, this was the longest book I have read in my life so far. 1177 pages. It was absolutely worth it! OMG, the ending!! If you have only watched the series but have not read the books you are not prepared for the last paragraph in this book! I watched the series first, so as I progressed on the book series I noticed the differences, and sometimes I was very shocked. (Oh my god she is alive! 😱) I love how much more magic the books have compared to the series. (Coldhands 😲) My favorite povs: Daenerys, Jon, and Arya. The writing is beautiful, I am happy that I took the time to read this series. I know there may never be an ending to A Song of Ice and Fire, but the experience these books provide is unique and worth every minute invested. I can't wait to read the next book. “I crossed a thousand leagues to come to you, and lost the best part of me al

A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin My rating: 5 of 5 stars Reading this book was a fantastic journey! 🤗 I got back into reading about a year ago, and fantasy has been my favorite genre so far. 🧙🏻‍♂️ I decided to start reading the books of A Song of Ice and Fire after watching the HBO series Game of Thrones. I know it's a cliche, but the books are definitely better than the series. Daenerys and Jon are my favorite POVs, and I am always anxious to get to their chapters. I will need a break from 900+ pages of books for a few weeks, but I plan to get to the next book in the series soon. Easy 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ View all my reviews

  A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin My rating: 5 of 5 stars This has definitely become one of my favorite books. I shared my Winter with this book, reading slowly, chapter by chapter, and it was such a ride. In 2022, I decided to start watching the show, which I did not pay much attention to when it was being released. I absolutely loved it, even though I hated the butchered ending. Now reading the books was a whole other experience. George R. R. Martin is an absolute genius. The writing is beautiful and infinitely superior to the series. The intricacies, the plots, the characters and the way they relate to each other, the world-building, everything is insane, absolutely high level. No wonder this is one of the most appraised fantasy series out there. I will definitely go to the next book as soon as I can. I am just now trying to find the second book of the A Song of Ice and Fire series in an edition to match the one I have, and since Amazon does not have it available, my purs
