I'm only up to starting A Storm of Swords (with fire&blood and knight of seven kingdoms read before the main books) and unless something drastic happens in the story I'm hopelessly hooked and in the camp of wishing for next book to release. But at least I have a fair bit to read still

Well there certainly are drastic things to come 🤐

#

I think it's interesting that you read F&B first. I'd be curious to go back and reread the main series knowing all the Targ history that I do, but that's a lot of book to read.

#

I was gonna read in the normal order but sister-in-law recommended chronological and it has added a lot of knowledge of the houses and their histories

#

Which is cool, feels quite a depth-y world right from the get go

#

There is also a combined order for Feast for Crows and Dance of Dragons that I can find if you'd like. They were originally meant to be one book before being split up for length by storyline.

Hmm, unsure on how I feel about that since start of storm of swords takes place in end of clash of kings so a combination there would have made more sense too I think

#

And also just, reading on an ereader jumping back and forth is a pain lmao

#

It's the series that got me back into reading as a whole they're just such amazing reads

#

Always gonna be hoping for Winds to release, I at least believe in that one, Spring yeah I'm not even gonna try but at least with Winds I'd have a whole new batch of theory videos to binge

Ayy there's an Ice and Fire channel! I'm currently going through the series for a second time. First time I read them was years ago. Currently a little bit of the way into Clash of Kings.

#

I really should do that one of these days

#

Jesus it's been 10 years since I started reading them 🙃

I've been making my way through Storm of Swords

thorny mural Feb 25, 2023, 8:16 AM

#

Finally finished Storm of Swords and jeesus

#

Wild ride throughout

pearl pulsar Feb 25, 2023, 4:32 PM

#

It is an absolutely incredible read

#

The climax of I don't even know how many plotlines goin into it

thorny mural Feb 25, 2023, 5:20 PM

#

It does do a really good job of condensing so many loose strands from clash of kings in very satisfying ways and still making you hungry for more

#

Though I will take a brief pause before the next

#

The end reveal of ||Tysha|| will always hit me

thorny mural Feb 25, 2023, 10:43 PM

#

Oh yeah same and I really didnt expect ||Tyrion to just shoot Tywin||

pearl pulsar Feb 25, 2023, 11:01 PM

#

I love that for as tragic a moment ||it clearly is for Tyrion there I love how much of a sinister moment it all really feels for him||

thorny mural Feb 25, 2023, 11:05 PM

#

||It has a bit of the vibe of him embracing some of the evil and chaotic vibes everyone has been so quick to assign to him||

pearl pulsar Feb 26, 2023, 12:56 AM

#

||Yeah it's like those elements in him were always there in some fashion, he was certainly the most like Tywin because of it||

#

||But losing Jamie, killing Shae which is no where near displayed as sympathetic as it is in the show||

#

||He really does become to us what he's always described as||

thorny mural Feb 26, 2023, 6:45 AM

#

||I haven't seen the show at all and this is my first time reading, I do wish him and Jaime had hugged it out but, oh well. I'll see how that goes in the next two||
