A Storm of Swords


Buy A Storn of Swords as kindle, hardcover, paperback and audiobook version.

From the Wiki
A Storm of Swords picks up the story slightly before the end of its predecessor, A Clash of Kings. The Seven Kingdoms are still in the grip of the War of the Five Kings, with the remaining Robb Stark, Balon Greyjoy, Joffrey Baratheon, and Stannis Baratheon fighting to secure their crowns. Stannis Baratheon's attempt to take King's Landing has been defeated by the new alliance between House Lannister (backing Joffrey) and House Tyrell. House Martell has also pledged its support to the Lannisters though the forces of Dorne have yet to take the field. Meanwhile, a large host of wildlings is marching toward the Wall under Mance Rayder, with only the tiny force of the Night's Watch in its path; and in the distant east, Daenerys Targaryen is on her way back to Pentos, hoping to raise forces to retake the Iron Throne.
 Three books into the series, and the action still does not slow down at all. Major plot twists galore, as you should be used to be now reading this series!

My cousin really didn't like the book too much, she was mad because of the killed off characters, and she couldn't guess how the story would go. Well for me, that was a plus, I like not being able to guess one predictable move after another. I might as well just write my own story if that is the case, it bores me to read.

Compared to the first two, more people do die in this one, as far as I can recall. This is one series, that I will probably go through a few times, and each time I do spot subtle foreshadowing and such I did not notice the first time around. Brilliant series, and another great book.
