I really shouldn't have started reading A Song of Ice and Fire : A Game of Thrones in November. I really shouldn't have, but I did! So, I am hooked now! Reading through it on a rapid pace. And liking it more with every page turn. I had held myself from reading this series for such a long time because I knew that it was going to get addictive and then I'd not be able to get anything else done.
I like everything in the story so far, but I am not able to grasp why GRRM is so lazy in writing the fight scenes. When reading fight scenes written by Joe Abercrombie or Richard K Morgan, you can feel the sweat, the blood, the swords swishing and limbs getting hacked apart, but with GRRM, fight scenes are a very formal affair. Not once did i feel myself cringe or moving with the characters. But well, what the fuck do I know, the guy is a genius for just writing all this and keeping a sane head on his shoulders. Any praise given to the man is less.
Cheers!
