I'm finishing the first book and although there isn't much action, it is very readable and I enjoy it a lot. |

I think all books up to number 4 is very good, and i believe a game of thrones is more about a deep interesting plot and character development than action overall. Im halfway thru book 4 now, its still somewhat interesting but very very slow, but i except a big upswing in book 5 again!
If you want epic grand battles in a fantasy setting i would recommend Silmarillion, which imo outclass everything else Tolkien has written. |

All the books are awesome but the reason why the 4th book is probably the least liked is because it focuses on only a handful of people throughout the entire 1.000-page book. Like literally three or four people (people you really don't give a fuck about) are the focus with only a few chapters devoted to minor characters. The 5th book will be sick as fuck because it will feature the other half of the main characters (the cool characters) throughout the entire book. |

I'm reading book 2 right now. It's good, well written, but progresses slowly because there are about 12 parallel plot line/characters whose perspectives are being told.
Also, how the fuck am I supposed to keep track of all the lords and knights and maesters.
still faster than waiting a year for the season 2 though... |

Starts off immediately with all the characters that weren't in book four. I'm like 100 pages in so far and I'm loving it. |

Just finished book 5 thought it was great and I really hope it doesn't take another 6 years to write the next one.
how do I put in a spoiler to talk about it? |
