I know I'm not the only one who's into this series! The TV show is awesome too, obviously.

I guess you are. Just kidding! I'm into it too!
I haven't read the newest one yet though.

Nobody ever comes to this forum, I guess. I've only read the first two but I have all of them except for the newest one. I'm going to start A Storm Of Swords when I'm finished with my library books.

I made a thread for the show here:

I actually haven't read any of the books. I'm reading too many other things at the moment.

I love the new trailer. It's all kinds of epic. And F&TM's song only adds epicness to it.

I'm quite surprised that so few people write about this series. Even after the show. Well, you can prepare now for the long essay, how and why I loved these books so much. I don’t know how do I put that into words. I mean.. okay.

First off, about Martin’s talent. This guy has an incredible imagination and I am glad that I could become a part of this story, that I can participate in this, undoubtedly, a fantastic journey through the fabulous, sometimes terrible, lands of Westeros. It’s just an amazing piece of the literature and has a bunch of awesome people, with whom you can experience something incredible.

There are also some people that are just meh/why are you here?/please leave… and I love this too. This book made me cry, laugh, scream, cry, cry, and cry (mostly cry). Every single chapter kept me hooked and I’m in love with every single story line. Every single one. I don't know what my feelings are doing when I'm reading this. When I'm really into a novel, I'm seeing the world differently during that time - not just for the hour or so in the day when I get to read. I’m actually walking around in a bit of a haze, spellbound by the book and looking at everything through a different prism. I cannot even begin to describe how much time I’ve spent daydreaming, crying, and just generally caring about some of them. So what if they aren't real? They’re real enough to me.

I love that series and the world that it is set in. In ASoIaF life is cheap, words are dangerous and honor is everything, it’s a series about betrayal, duty, sex and conquest. Either way, my opinion should totally be that it’s amazing and exciting and perfect and magnificent and every other possible term for „flawless in every way”. But on the other hand this is also literally the saddest thing I’ve read in a while. And now I’m crying again. Because of the upcoming season 2. This series took my heart and tore it into a million tiny pieces. ASoIaF crippled me emotionally, I don’t even know how much more I can take. Please to the old gods and new, make GRRM stop killing my soul. I remember someone's comment about the books, something like: Reading the A Song of Ice and Fire series is like playing with an adorable puppy and then someone comes up out of nowhere, shoots the puppy, and punches you in the face. Hm yeah more or less.

But yes becoming obsessed over this the last few months was certainly a great time. It was almost 2,000 pages long and I still didn’t want it to end. I’m so glad there are 2 more books ahead for me to read (A Dance with Dragons cuz it just appeared in Poland and that new one what could have been reading on the Internet).

I recommend this series to absolutely everyone.
In conclusion, ASoIaF is the best. I can’t really say more than that.

And yet I'm really incredibly, ridiculously, overwhelmingly excited for season 2. Every time I see new trailer I’m able to write only something like “ohmygod”. And that last one with Florence's song. It shows Game of Thrones in a different light - more magical, more mystical. And I absolutely love this. It's like perfect combination for me, cause I love Florence. Yet the entire month...

Also I'm FINALLY about to start ASOS. Idk if I'm prepared, tbh.

My favourite book.

Everything that you said is so lovely and true, and also makes me kind of anxious to finish the series. I'm trying not to rush through it, though, as it's pretty awesome not knowing what's about to happen.

It seems ASOS is a lot of people's favorite! It's pretty great so far, even though I'm only about 100 pages in.

I'm done with it now.. and it was amazing and perfect. One of my favorite books ever. You're in for a treat.

[Abybaby]

^just finished it as well, my what a bloodbath
just starting the 4th book, kinda disappointed that some of my fave characters are not there but anyway... *continues reading*

[thegreathoo]

I just started reading the Clash of Kings (150th page) beacuse it is current to season 2. The books has a great pace to it, similar to the TV series, so reading is a breeze. But more than, the language is pointed, efficient, and beautifully descriptive, so it is a joy to read. Finally, with many characters and plots it is nicely layered that it fills and lingers in memory as a rich experience.

I got into the show first but didn't start to read the books until I finished the second season. I just finished A Storm Of Swords last night and I loved all three of the books. So much death, though. Good Lord what a bloodbath this last book was. The next season (or two since I hear the next book will be split up over two seasons) will be intense. I have been voraciously reading them for the last several weeks. I don't want to read all of the published books right now, though, so I'm taking a break before diving into A Feast For Crows.

[Konjim]

Yes this really amazing tv Show , I am also like this . Your not only who like this

[poopooface]

So who finally got around to reading book 5?
