Review title: relentless, gutwrenching, engrossing........
Product review: 200+ pages into this series, I stopped reading the morning paper. 400 pages in, I started to go to bed a little earlier. And now 1600+ pages later, I'm trying to reconcile breaking my no hardcover rule and buying book three. For as much as I can't wait to see what happens, I also fear forgetting half of what and who has happened waiting for part 3 in paperback.GRR Martin belongs in very elite company, critically, for me. He is the Frank Herbert of fantasy. His talent for characterizations is unmatched....gifting us with characters that are varying shades of good and evil. His plot twists are brutal. His use of suspense dizzying. There is no clear cut hero, all are flawed. Don't get too attached to anyone. Expect anything (usually the worst) to happen. And know that who makes it all 900 pages-in tact or no-is as much a crap shoot as the first installment.
