A Dance With Dragons by George R.R. Martin

George R.R. Martin's fans have waited 6 years for this fifth installment of his great Song of Ice and Fire series. Many readers were disappointed by this book, but I'm not one of them! Although no major plot points are resolved, the story continues to be absorbing. This book concentrates on some of my favorite characters from the series: Tyrion, Jon Snow and Daeneyrs. I remain amazed at how the author has assembled this terrific cast and continues to arrange and manipulate the various story lines like pieces on a chessboard. Since the first book (Game of Thrones) was made into an HBO series, and the filming of season two is underway, I am hopeful George R.R. Martin will finish this wonderful story. Let's hope it doesn't take another six years!
