Before continuing wanted to check out a couple of other books. Read Shadow Divers which was really good. Saw it suggested a lot and it did not disappoint. Now reading The Pearl by Steinbeck and Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers by Grant Naylor.

The game of thrones books are great. I know this is cliche to say, but the books are better than the show.

The third book is so amazing. I read the books after seeing the show, and maybe that helped me form a mental model of the world and the characters.

Such a shame GRRM likely won't complete it.
