Title: This is Pop Fantasy
Product review: "Ser Alliser Thorne walked from the room so stiffly it looked as though he had a dagger up his [...]."If the line above makes you grimace for reasons other than the obvious than do not buy this book. I can only assume it is consistent with the quality of writing you'll find throughout since I couldn't make it past the first two hundred or so pages. Martin wields his pen like a sledgehammer.Also, if descriptive sex between Genghis Khan and his thirteen-year-old bride makes you a little uncomfortable you may want to consider something else. I accept the reality of child brides in this setting, but couldn't Martin have just alluded to the fact that the marriage was consummated and the groom was surprisingly gentle?
