![]() ![]() Once you get into the story and figure out how to read high fantasy you can fully appreciate the story, characters, prose, and plot….but at times it’s difficult. ![]() The series itself is intricate and tedious and one of the things I remember not liking about this series is how long it took me to get into the first book. I am not going to give a lot of background on this book since you can see it all from my first review, rather I am just going to get right into my thoughts on this re-read! ![]() You don’t have to be a fantasy reader to enjoy this series at all! It’s one of the best books and series I’ve ever read hands down but I will say it is something to savor and revisit frequently (as in re-reads) because you might miss important plot details! It’s so rich, textured, and character driven. ![]() With no real rush or agenda, I started reading the second book back in May and I just finished it in July….yes it took me much longer to read this time but I chalk that up to being in my third trimester and having the attention span of a gnat at the moment. The last time I read the second book was in 2012 so obviously it’s been a while and lots of details have been forgotten. It’s been two years since I re-read the first book and I got so much out of the second reading that I vowed to continue re-reading the series over the years. After watching the rapidly developing plot lines of season 6 of Game of Thrones on HBO, I felt the need to re-read the second book in the ASOIAF series. ![]()
