In Progress: A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin
I've been reading through A Storm of Swords for over a month now, and I thought it'd be fun to share my thoughts on it so far. I give an overview of my history with the series and my thoughts on the first half of the book.

Onward to finishing it! -
