Title: I'm done!
Review: I'm new to this series. My brother was telling me how great the tv show is but since I don't watch tv I decided to read it. I'll have to say I did enjoy the first book but my interest has waned with each chapter. Martin's prose is bland and his imagery seems limited for the fantasy genre. There are many fantasy novels that I'd love to see turned into a tv series but I see why this one has been chosen...it's little more than a soap opera dressed in armor. I struggled through this third installment hoping for a light at the end of the tunnel but, seriously, to end the book with lady stark coming back after her throat's been opened is, in Martin's words, a mummer's farce. I'm done with this series. This isn't fantasy writing; it's commercialism at it's finest.
