A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE: BOOK FIVE
 
In the aftermath of a colossal battle, Daenerys Targaryen rules with her three dragons as queen of a city built on dust and death. But Daenerys has thousands of enemies, and many have set out to find her. Fleeing from Westeros with a price on his head, Tyrion Lannister, too, is making his way east—with new allies who may not be the ragtag band they seem. And in the frozen north, Jon Snow confronts creatures from beyond the Wall of ice and stone, and powerful foes from within the Night’s Watch. In a time of rising restlessness, the tides of destiny and politics lead a grand cast of outlaws and priests, soldiers and skinchangers, nobles and slaves, to the greatest dance of all.

Don’t miss the thrilling sneak peek of George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire: Book Six, The Winds of Winter

    The depth, complexity, and myriad surprises make this book and this story a masterpiece. Not all of the surprises are necesarrily good, but they are surprises nonetheless. Wish I could read faster.
  • Different from the show

    I watched the show first and the first books was like reading summaries. This book was way different and it makes me excited for the next book in the series. Whenever that may come out!
  • Out of all the books....

    I started to loose interest in this book for some reason. I haven’t finished it yet. But I found the others better so far. Not just because of the show. The other books where just better. This one is leading to stuff... and maybe I just haven’t gotten far enough in. But something about this one... I have just kinda lost interest....

    It's to long. It's flipping 1,100 pages!
  • Not as good as HBO

    Pleasantly surprised that the storyline differs, but Martin seems limited in terms of adjectives and the story draaaaaggggggs on. Lots of seemingly superfluous dialogue and characters. Kudos to the HBO team for paring this down to the best parts and adding all the plot line twists Martin misses.
  • Great book!

    The storylines need to much move faster. Seems like everyone is marking time while stuck in mud. Plus Martin really needs to stop killing off main characters who are good guys for once again, evil prevails in this book. If it weren't for HBO and their slick production and telling of the story, many fans would've fallen by the wayside. The Winds of Winter had better move the story along otherwise many of us will be looking for The Hot Rays of Summer.

    Growing up I loved Lord of the Rings and Dragonlance so I thought I'd find some more fantasy books to get back into the genre. Found GOT and thought they had promise. Boy was I sadly sadly mistaken! Let me start by saying a good book takes me a few days to read, a week tops! This guys' book took me MONTHS to get through. Often I would read 2 or 3 books in between. So the length of boring material to filter through is ridiculous. Then the content if borderline horror/porn. So long boring and highly obscene! The first 3 books I give some credit to but the last two are the worst. The story is going no where and having to read over 1000 pages for nothing is not my idea of pleasure reading. I'd rather read the Tolkein books over again ad study for the LSAT than read another sentence from this guy. HBO just killed this current season too so all in all a great big waste of time.
