Negative Positive
Title: Fascinating, but repetitive.
Review: "Storm of Swords", the third book in the series, is clearly not the last. While I enjoyed the book and was drawn back into the fantasy world that Martin quite expertly created....I kept wondering, did he lose a family member while writing this book?Characters, both good and evil, seemed to die at an increasingly rapid rate compared to the first two books. (So many of the characters he came to make us care for died that I actually breathed a sigh of relief when he finally killed the cardboard cutout villian, Joffrey.) The rate even increased as the book went on.However, this was the only part of the book that gave me pause. Most of the characters are well fleshed out and real, though he seems to have so many that some suffer with rather flimsy characterization. It is a large world, though, and one cannot know everyone intimately.I will continue to buy the series, however, if only to find out what happens to Danaerys and Arya!
Is the review positive or negative?
