O terceiro livro da canção de gelo e fogo parece ser um ponto culminante da história e entrega, em meio a sua miríade de personagens e capítulos, alternando diferentes protagonistas, grandes momentos. São normalmente trágicos, e há uma crueldade magistralmente calibrada nesses desfechos, mesmo que um quadro realista permaneça. Mas também há ao menos um momento bastante humorado e que me arrancou risadas. Há nisso a astúcia de dar-nos esperança, dado que a série prossegue. Ademais, é muito interessante como os elementos mágicos começam a temperar um pouco mais a história, sem perder de vista a ideia de "era de ouro perdida" e seu realismo. ( ) Ugh, what a slog. I know many people love the series but it just does not work for me. I like a huge sprawling novel but this one is too unweildy. Too many characters and too many plot lines to really keep them straight and once you get to a point of following a story, it's gone for about 6 or 8 chapters and the whole thing is lost. I can't even remotely attempt to keep track of the minor characters and gave up trying in book 1. Plus the violent deaths and general violence and violent sex is more than I can handle. Clearly, I am in the minority because many love it but not really for me. Wow! The first half was good and filled in some gaps from slow moving book two. The second half....was unbelievable. Action packed, fast paced, shocking. I need a break after reading two of these giant books back to back but I am really, seriously considering starting the fourth book today. I need to know what happens. Wow, does Martin play for keeps! By the third book in a six book series, you would think that you had the basic plotlines of the story mapped out, and that you could predict most of the major events. Not with A Storm of Swords. Amazing plot twists, fantastic character development, superb dialogue, and a story that moves. This is no unending saga where the story barely progresses from volume to volume. Major characters die, and others act in ways that are completely unexpected but always make sense. So much action is crammed into 900 pages that I was emotionally drained upon finally finishing -- and reaching the shattering epilogue. This series is not for the feint of heart. The good guys don't always win, and the bad guys don't always lose. One particular scene involves a series of horrific murders that are so well-written that the action seems to move in slow motion. I had to put down the book for a few minutes just to absorb what I had just read, and I know that I am not the only one to have had that reaction. Those are the moments you hope for when reading -- when the story grabs hold and sucks you in. Fortunately, its not all grim. Seeds of hope and hints of better things to come are there, and there are rousing moments when I couldn't stop the smile from spreading over my face. Get it, read it. LOVE it
With the end of A Storm of Swords, Martin is half finished his epic. However, so little has been revealed that we have only begun to glimpse what the true saga really is. It's as if you are peering through a dirty window, cleaning small portions of it -- one square inch at a time -- so more and more of the room beyond is slowly revealed. Each glimpse uncovers a new wonder, but you can never be sure of exactly what you are seeing.

Henvisninger til dette værk andre steder. Wikipedia på engelsk (13)Four contend for power over the Iron Throne and the Land of the Seven Kingdoms; alliances shift, and betrayal is always an option. House Lannister's head, Joffrey, rules uneasily. Joffrey's enemy, Lord Stannis, is disgraced and enthralled. Robb of House Stark still rules the North, implacable in his enmity towards his Lannister foes, even as they hold his sister hostage. And the exiled queen Daenerys, mistress of the world's last three dragons, makes her way across a blood-drenched continent. But as opposing forces maneuver for the final titanic showdown, there appears an army of barbaric wildlings, led by undead Others. The unpredictable violence of a final cataclysm is inevitable; the one certain thing is that many men will die upon many swords. No library descriptions found. |
