I don't usually enjoy third-person novels as much as those written in first-person (though there are some exceptions), and the fact that G.O.T. jumped around among a zillion different characters made it that much harder for me to enjoy. I ultimately set the book aside without finishing it, which I hate doing. I keep hearing great things about the show, though - maybe I should try watching that instead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-9379966491006607412018-10-15T21:54:10.227-06:002018-10-15T21:54:10.227-06:00I saw LOTS of HP, and Thrones on many lists last w...I saw LOTS of HP, and Thrones on many lists last week.
