A Storm of Swords: Part 2 Blood and Gold (Reissue): Book 3 (A Song of Ice and Fire): The bestselling classic epic fantasy series behind the ... Sky TV show and phenomenon GAME OF THRONES

I ordered this as good quality second hand but the quality came is as good as new . I am satisfied ☺️

This book was simply a masterpiece. I couldn't put it down till the last page. George RR Martin is a king of writing fiction. The book got definitely darker than the last one and the characters making tougher and tougher decisions, facing insurmountable odds, terrible losses, huge armies, but now also the onset of wildlings, magic and the inexorable advance of winter. This is an incredible thriller, with new and shocking developments in each page, and twisted politics and cold-blooded murders and revelations at every turn. The description is so intense and direct that the scenes seem to play out in your head as if you were there, and the grotesque fights and killings leave you feeling horrified.George RR Martin outdoes himself with every book. Can't wait to read the next one.

The review is based on the buying experience. Got it in a good deal so no complaints. The font in this paperback is little small but that’s okay. Satisfied with the purchase

Good

It came in plastic cover to for protection from dust and had a bookmark bravo prasadbookstore.although it had been readen i eventually thought that this is not a second hand book.

Loved the book, though it came with a minor defect. They sent me a violet cover instead of the one posted on Amazon, which is absolutely stunning.

The third addition to globally well known series by George RR Martin A song of ice and fire is an interesting and captivating readThe books are awesomePackaging amazingDelivery on time💯🤙🏻

I found it very hard to put this book down as with the first three books in the series.With there being so many characters and so much happening in this story I like how Mr Martin writes each chapter mainly about one particular character.Therefor the chance of getting lost or confused in the story is very slim.Nothing is predictable and the author has no problem with killing off it's main characters, introducing new characters and putting a whole new spin on what the reader anticipates will be the outcome of the story.Don't get too comfortable with your favourite characters, they may not be there at the end of the story.I can't wait to start reading the next book in this series and see where George RR Martin takes me.I've given this book 5 stars only because there wasn't 6 stars.

Remember me talking about how so many people died in the first part of book three in the A Song of Fire and Ice series? Yeah, scratch that. That was child's play compared to what went down next. I can't count the times I felt my heart pounding in my chest, wishing for another Bran-Rickon case. Well ... no. I'm still left somewhat heartbroken because a lot of bad things happened to many many characters I love. But there was balance! Yes! Let's just say I have fewer characters to hate.For me, this part of the third book was much better than Steel and Snow. Much more happened, the characters did so much more instead of just standing and talking. I especially enjoyed the chapters of characters on the wall, as well as Sansa's and Tyrion's chapters. However, there was not a single point of view I disliked this time. It all seemed very well rounded.In short, I can't wait to read A Feast for Crows simply because of all the drama and heartbreak that went down in A Storm of Swords. I don't know how Martin went on from what he left me with but I heard a lot of good things, so here's to crossing my fingers!I can't tell you how much I have grown to love most characters. I'm over the moon for a lot of them, like Sansa, Tyrion, Jon and Littlefinger. Sure, not all of them are angels but still so very entertaining! Sorry for this somewhat short review but there is nothing left to say except: Go read the series, now!

Martin atteint l'excellence dans cette deuxième partie (ou pour Storm of Swords en général). Un évenement marquant fait son apparition au bout d'une centaine de pages et risque d'en traumatiser certains... et c'est ensuite que s’enchaine les péripéties de nos fidèles personnages à travers Westeros.les + :- Jon au Wall et ses derniers chapitres sommes toutes assez géniaux- Tyrion, décidemment pas de chance pour The Imp, pas grave vu comment il règle ses comptes...- Jaime. Martin a su transformer le "Kingslayer" grâce à son aventure avec Brienne- Catelyn...les - :Sansa, des chapitres que je trouve assez lents depuis le début de SOS... avec un finish qui compense quand même!Samwell...Bran, un bon début mais l'ensemble reste répétitif voire trop. Heureusement que Jojen et Meera sont la.Mes personnages incontournables:- Mance Rayder, Rattleshirt et Ygritte- Stannis- Thoros et Beric !!Entre parentheses, dommage que GRRM n'ait pas réalisé de chapitres spécifiques à Robb (seul Stark a ne pas avoir eu cet honneur)Enfin, l’épilogue dans la peau de Merrett Frey parait assez laborieux.. jusqu'aux deux dernières pages... suspens garanti!!!!A voir comment l'aventure évolue dans A Feast for Crows.

An awesome book, the saga continues. Cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

Whenever I pick up a book from the A Song of Ice and Fire series, something strange and unusual happens. I read, and I keep reading, and it’s a wrench to stop reading before the final page is turned.I’ve praised George R R Martin’s series before for its deep world-building, authentic character creation, and refreshing unpredictability, so I thought I’d talk about something else this time. Readability. This series has it. George R R Martin truly is a master of the English language. His knowledge is broad enough to add flair to description and keep repetition at bay, but he never succumbs to flooding his work with incoherence. He knows how to construct a sentence so it is both interesting and elegantly simple, creating the sweet spot of literary flow that makes it so easy to read that it’s like the words carry you along like a current. That’s one of the reasons it’s so difficult to put down his books when I pick them up. The fluidity feels to natural that there never quite feels like a good point to put the book down and come back to it later.Another reason is that Martin is a genius of plot structure. The alternate character pov chapters dole out just enough of that character and what’s happening with them to please, but not enough to satisfy, and before you know it the chapter’s over and you’re on to another character, with a strange mixture of thwarted disappointment that it’s now going to be several chapters before you find out what this character does next, and eagerness because now you get to find out what happened to that other character when you left off several chapters ago.Much of the praise I had for A Storm of Swords: Steel and Snow applies here, and not just because, as I keep saying, Martin is such a consistently good author – but since this was originally one complete text, the quality is especially consistent between this and part one. Same amazing world, same deft characterisations, same attention to detail, same thoughtful plot. Undoubtedly looking forwards to book four!
