Book Bloggin' 10th June 2013

Finished: A Storm of Swords (pt 1 & 2) by George RR Martin

So, book 3 is done. Some questions were answered, some were not. As the Starks (who are now mostly dead) say "Winter is Coming". Sorry for the spoiler, but well given the storm that erupted following the screening of the "Rains of Castamere" which incidently screened the very day I read those chapters, it would be a surprise if anyone was unaware of who died.

I find myself liking Tyrion. I can't help it. Yes he is conniving & manipulative, but given the family he was born into, is it any surprise? I enjoy his chapters the most & I think that in the series ( I couldn't help myself, I watched a little of the Rains of Castamere) he is absolutely played spot on by Peter Dinklage in the series. Add to that the translation of all the tension between Clegane & Arya Stark. Just superb.

This book has some major battles, but mostly to me felt like filler, building towards the coming conflict. Still, an excellent read and a well written book as always.

Started: Kirov V: 9 Days Falling by John Schettler

Started: A Feast for Crows by George RR Martin

I really don't want to read this series too fast as I know that book 6 (and 7) are still a loooong way off, but I can't help myself.
