A Song of Ice and Fire: “The Sworn Sword” by George R.R. Martin
Dunk and Egg return in this volume about a dried up stream and a dam and the lord and lady who are fighting over it. Wow, I don’t know what else to say about this one than that. That’s virtually ALL that happened. Well, … Continue reading

A Song of Ice and Fire: “The Hedge Knight” by George R.R. Martin
So, Kelley tells me these short stories of the A Song of Ice and Fire series are even better than the novels themselves and that I should be prepared to cry. We’ll see. The first, “The Hedge Knight,” is all about an unlikely tourney … Continue reading

A Dance with Dragons – George R.R. Martin
Harumph. I did not like this one at all. At all. Boring, wordy, and slow of plot, A Dance with Dragons should have been left out of the series, as was apparently the author’s original intent. Nothing happens! (Except ’til … Continue reading

A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin
I have to say, I didn’t love this one. I don’t think the addition of Cersei Lannister’s voice added anything to the tale and it was a very slow read for me. The Alayne thread seems lacking somehow. With the … Continue reading

Game of Thrones series on HBO
Ok, so Kelley would probably call me a “Johnny-come-lately” (or some equally pejorative but far trendier term), but after re-reading the first book of A Song of Ice and Fire series (and enjoying it for a change!) and needing something adult to snuggle … Continue reading

A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin
What to say about book 2? I went through this one pretty fast as it was overall pretty enjoyable for a mid-series sequel (usually they just fill in details on more interesting plot arcs for later, and end up a hodgepodge … Continue reading
Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
So, apparently this is Kelley’s favorite book. She moderates a web forum about it and made me read it a couple years back even though I insisted I don’t like fantasy. I confess that when I read it, I found A Game … Continue reading
The Scorpio Races – Maggie Stiefvater
I basically agree with everything Michelle said about this book, but I’ll expand by complaining about some other things as well. This was a good enough book. If I was the type to give ratings, I’d give it a 3…which … Continue reading

The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
Sigh…so we’re back to this: a book I’ve anticipated reading for quite a long time, even one I turned to as a welcome escape from the forced feeling of the Dragon Tattoo trilogy, has turned out to be a disappointment. I … Continue reading
