About this ebook

HBO’s hit series A GAME OF THRONES is based on George R R Martin’s internationally bestselling series A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, the greatest fantasy epic of the modern age.

A DANCE WITH DRAGONS: DREAMS AND DUST is the FIRST part of the fifth volume in the series.

‘Richly satisfying and utterly engrossing’ Sunday Times

In the aftermath of a colossal battle, new threats are emerging from every direction.

Tyrion Lannister, having killed his father, and wrongfully accused of killing his nephew, King Joffrey, has escaped from King’s Landing with a price on his head.

To the north lies the great Wall of ice and stone – a structure only as strong as those guarding it. Eddard Stark's bastard son Jon Snow has been elected 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch. But Jon has enemies both inside and beyond the Wall. And in the east Daenerys Targaryen struggles to hold a city built on dreams and dust.

without wanting to give anything away plot wise it is easy to say that this book is everything fans of this series have come to want and all the best Martin trademarks are here in abundance. This book is a nice step up of pace after the relatively slow fourth instalment and had me on the edge of my seat for most of it. once again a shocking cliff hanger means I'm dying to read what happens next.

Page 316, read it, turn it, other side of 316 makes NO SENSE, pay money for this and it is missing writing unless it's a misprint in the original copy!
