The author of "A Song of Ice and Fire" is certainly a genius writer. He gets to the bottom of humanity, the dark parts, like no other author I have read. I am a bit disillusioned with the fantasy genre, but his story is more about people than anything. A vast cast of characters and many, many secondary and tertiary characters contribute to his epic tale.
I don't know if I will leave a review for "A Dance with Dragons" but it is certainly shocking and perplexing me as I read through it, winding up the series. When I am lost while reading it, which happens sometimes, it is usually because of the multitude of characters, which I have trouble keeping track of. Also, there is a lot of dialogue.
It would be pointless for me to try to describe the story in a post because it is truly vast. To say that it is about power and the struggle of kings, queens, princes, and princesses would not even do it justice. I can just say that it is a tale of an imaginary place, where characters move through it and are subject to its precarious and treacherous laws. The series won't end after this book, but it is all George R. R. Martin has written so far.
