A Song of Ice and Fire

I've been calling this book series "Game of Thrones" since that's the title of the first book and the TV series but I guess after reading books 1, 2 and 3 part 1, I should call it by its rightful name "A Song of Ice and Fire".
I read book 1 in two weeks, book 2 in one week, and book 3 part 1 in four days :-)
I guess you could say I'm pretty hooked on this epic tale!

In contrast to, for instance, the Harry Potter books, the "A Song of Ice and Fire" books don't wrap up the story line nicely at the end of each book. They just end like a regular chapter and you're left wondering what the hell is going to happen next. Since there are so many story lines you get used to having to wait what happens with a certain character but with each book ending you just want to dive into the next book to continue reading.
So, I'll probably start reading book 3 part 2 "A Storm of Swords: Blood and Gold" tonight! There have been a few very cool twisted events which I love so hopefully George R. R. Martin doesn't let up in the next books.
I already have the paperback edition of book 4 "A Feast for Crows" so I'm still good for quite some time. It seems that book 5 has only been published in hardcover so far and I'll see if I can be patient enough to wait for the paperback version to be released. Probably not haha!
And after book 5 I'll have to endure the wait until books 6 and 7 will be out...

Winter is coming!
