You get a better overview of them all, you will feel connected to one or more of them, your favorites as you keep on going with the story. I'am still considering just reading all the danerys chapters straight in one go to ^^
Just because you can now store where everyone was and is, what they like, what they fear who they talk to and who they love. It does not mean we should so spy upon our fellow man in a dystopia far worse then 1984

As Ceril said, it'll take a while to really get into it, but once the war and everything gets going, you'll definitely start feeling connected to some characters.

Also, once you've read all the books, it is pretty interesting to read all of a specific character's chapters at once to get a better understanding of how the world is unfolding from just their point of view.

He kills the main charactors every 15 pages, then introduces a new one before setting them up to die. It's an interesting writing style. Plus hot twin incest.


Wow, this is an awesome summary. Also, Jon Snow is the manliest mother fucker on earth.

Huge fan of these books, For whoever is done with reading them did you see all the crazy theories about Jon Snows mother and others? That is the most amazing part. After I was done with all the books a few years ago now I thought they were awesome, but once I read the theories behind some of the stuff I was just blown away. The man's a genius.

Pretty much one of the few sites GRRM approves of, so you know it's good.

I thought this thread would be bumped with an update on the release. However, it is getting me motivated to re-read the books for the 5th time.

Wow, that's ridiculously awesome. I've only just finished reading the Jon Snow parentage theory page, and it's already very interesting. I always suspected that + Show Spoiler +

were his parents, but I could never piece in the Tower and the Kingsguard dream that Eddard had until after reading. Very nice find, Naz.

The last release update was a few days ago:
http://towerofthehand.com/blog/2009/08/01_editor_adwd_finished_soon/index.html
Anne also thinks she'll be getting the book by October or November, which to her would probably make it a February or March 2010 release...


But it had been almost done for such a long time, so no way I'm getting my hopes up.

I finished re-reading the series the second time today and now I'm spending a lot of time at the boards, reading all the theories again. :>

better place would be go here:
http://www.towerofthehand.com/essays/chrisholden/index.html

and then set the "scope" to whatever book you've finished (don't go there until you've at least read past storm of swords) and then read all the FAQs there

its nuts

Awesome books. I don't know - the depth of the characters that he actually keeps alive are really awesome - but really there are only like 2 or 3 characters you should get attached too. The writing style isn't "great" compared to Eddings or Lawhead but the books are a pretty good Fantasy read. They are long and sometimes disjointed but they will keep you entertained.

~LoA


Lol. You realise Eddings actually plagurises himself. He has about 8 charactors and he just renames them. And you know it's true. He steals whole chapters from himself.


Have to speak about him in the past tense now . He died a few months ago. And it'd probably be called recycling his own material rather than plagiarizing . Has to be someone else's work to plagiarize it.

as testie said, just read, it's excellent. best series ive read

Fucking TRUTHERY.

God that book took me so much longer to get through.

It was even worse than A Clash of Kings (which had more politics and less fighting than Game or Storm...but christ, feast was just boring)


I am late to this thread, but saw this post and had to agree. There was a good book in A Feast for Crows but it was buried in an extra 400 pages that needed to be edited out.

My problem now is that I am going to be lost when the next book comes out and I have no time to re-read 4 epic tombs to get caught up

if you are interested in ASOIAF updates and don't read Martin's blog, here is a little audio interview that was done with him recently where he comments on his progress with DANCE and what problems he has had to deal with (especially the 5 year time gap thing explains a lot).

here is the link, enjoy: http://www.dragonpage.com/2010/04/27/cover-to-cover-405a/ (interview starts at 11.5 minutes)
