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 STORM OF SWORDS is the third volume in the series.

The Seven Kingdoms are divided by revolt and blood feud, and winter approaches like an angry beast. Beyond the Northern borders, wildlings leave their villages to gather in the ice and stone wasteland of the Frostfangs. From there, the renegade Brother Mance Rayder will lead them South towards the Wall.

The men of the Night’s Watch are ready for the coming of a great cold and the walking corpses that travel with it. But now they face a horde of wildlings twenty-thousand strong – hungry savage people steeped in the dark magic of the haunted wilderness – poised to invade the Kingdom of the North where Robb Stark wears his new-forged crown.

But Robb’s defences are ranged against attack from the South, the land of House Stark’s enemies the Lannisters. His sisters are trapped there, dead or likely yet to die, at the whim of the Lannister boy-king Joffrey or his depraved mother Cersei, regent of the Iron Throne. Cersei’s ambition is unfettered while the dwarf Tyrion Lannister fights for his life, a victim of treachery.

And on the other side of the ocean, the last of the Targaryens rears the dragons she hatched from her husband’s funeral pyre. Daenerys Stormborn will return to the land of her birth to avenge the murder of her father, the last Dragon King on the Iron Throne.

Martin's third book is an excellent read which has kept me gripped. There is, however, a pattern developing: plans are always dumfounded. It gets a touch tedious by the end, when you know that nothing ever seems to work out. However, this is a well-crafted work with, on the whole, an intriguing plot which is hard to put down.

This book has it all. It only occasionally let's up the pace so you can catch your breathe before throwing something else at you. Throughout it's often thought-provoking, horrible, surprising, stressful, elating, hopeful, desperate and utterly frustratingly uncompromisingly cruel to the reader and their expectations. But god damn did I love it.

this is a good book and truthfully I am still reading the sample.I try to read less as possible because the prices are sky high for the e-book for in this much money you can buy the paperback edition but at least its safer to use during the COVID-19 pandemic for this has no chance of bringing with it to you the virus.
