A série de livros Songs of Ice and Fire vale todo o hype! De quebra você se junta ao movimento internacional de ódio ao autor que não termina os 2 últimos livros (que já estariam prontos desde 2012)
Many people reviewed the book far better than I ever could so I'll just write my impression down.
As a fan of the tv series I was afraid I might not be able to follow along the complex story as a book. However this was rather easy. The storytelling is really descriptive, which allows the reader to get a detailed imagination of what people and places look like. It is a really great dark fantasy book and I enjoyed reading it!
