Title: Good read
Product review: This is not the best fantasy story ever written, but Martin has the storyteller's ability to draw you into his world. I thought the characters were fairly well developed and usually not one-sided. I liked how even the "good" queen had a nasty streak when it came to her bastard son, and the "bad" characters can be almost likeable at times (the Imp, for example). Interestingly, the really bad characters are mostly spoiled children drunk on power. Overall, a very entertaining story and I'm looking forward to the second.
