In the series of books, A Song of Ice and Fire, this is the fourth installment. While I was told that the author didn't have the time to write in all the characters from the previous books, I still wouldn't miss this. The book follows Cersei Lannister as she deals with the incident involving her son, Joffrey, from the previous book. It tells the story of Brienne, as she tries to fulfill an oath she made. We also hear from Arya Stark, as she tries to acclimate to her new home and we hear from Samwell, the steward of the Night's Watch as he sets out on a quest to help his Lord Commander. Finally, we see the story of Jamie Lannister who is locked in a struggle to do what is right, while surrounded by corrupting influences. Many new characters are also introduced. As you can see, some notables are missing from the story, such as John Snow, Tyrion Lannister and Daenerys Targaryen. But George R.R. Martin has promised they will be in the new book that is tentatively scheduled for release in Spring of 2008.Read full review
I am an avid reader that enjoys very type of reading from the food reviews to Magazines, current events, and of course Fantasy! I could not get book four quick enough as I had left off on book III with some BIG questions! I could hardly stand to wait for it to arrive but I took the opportunity to re read some of the earlier chapters. He foreshadows GALORE, its GOOD to REVIEW! This man's books and characters are so well developed that I love to read about them. He paints a vivid photo of the lovely realm. He is so intuitive about human nature I just love the hear all the "japes". I still like finding good old fashioned book stores to buy my books at but not against purchasing a used paperback online! If you get this book HAPPY READING!
I have not read this book but I have always been interested in Game of Thrones. Being that I work at a library I got the other two books in the series and i wanted the whole series so I saw online that eBay had the rest of the series and I didn't want too miss out

I can't put these books down. It's so enticing with all the drama and raw human desires and actions that it's pretty much like a much loved soap opera. The characters are eerily real and the plot has you on the edge of your seat the entire time.

I bought this after reading the first three books in the Songs of Ice and Fire series which I find to be some of the best Science/Fantasy Fiction I have ever read. Books 1-3 takes us through something of a story arc while Book 4 introduces several new characters whom we have never met or who have never had the story told from their perspective. There is more of the same great writing characterized by cliffhangers, intrigue, colorful dialogue and believable character development without being predictable like so many other books in the genre. Will he live long enough to publish the other 3 books? I hope so.
