Science fiction masterpiece. Political intrigue. A lot of character development and different levels to the story. So much happening and intertwining it is worth reading again.

As my review for Book 2 says, I love the way the books changes perspective from chapter to chapter so that the reader really gets inside the heads of the characters, providing insight into the complexities of human relationships in a way you otherwise wouldn't. More than it is a "fantasy" novel, it is a pseudo-history, and as we all know, history told from only one perspective is skewed and incomplete. Martin's choice of multiple perspectives gives a very thorough view of what's happening and allows the reader to reach their own conclusions about what is good/bad, right/wrong, desirable/undesirable. Although I'm a fan of the tv show, believe me when I say: THE BOOKS TELL THE STORY ON A LEVEL THE TV SHOW COULD NEVER EVEN DREAM OF ACHIEVING.rnrnThe books also provide a good balance of pure pseudo-historical adventure story with subtle fantasy elements without being too in-your-face fantasy. At the outset, the kingdom of Westeros believes magic and magical creatures no longer exist except in very subtle holdover ways, like the occasional witch-type character, but those are a rarity and viewed skeptically. As you move thorugh the books, some of this supposedly dead magic turns out to be not so dead, but it's not like a Dungeons and Dragons world where trolls and wizards run amock. So it doesn't have a "kitsch" problem the way some bad fantasy novels do. Now for book 3 specifics:rnrnWe're still focused on the Stark family in many ways; as I hypothesized in my Book 2 review, the Starks seem to be the true focus of the overall story. But other major players on the chessboard also become near and dear to the reader. In book 3, as the title suggests, we cover the "war" of the various figures vying for the throne and a fair amount of plotlines are ... resolved. S*** goes CRAZY up at the wall, and Jon is becoming more and more of a central character, which I like since he's an underappreciated bastard and I tend to root for underdogs. I absolutely love where Arya's story is going as well, and at the close of her last chapter in Book 3, I believe I shouted "Yeah!!!" at the top of my lungs, much to my dog's consternation. Book 3 ends with a lot of balls up in the air and I'm dying to see how this all comes out.rnrnAs far as actual literary value, I have no complaints. The prose can sometimes be plodding with detailed descriptions of people's clothing (do I really care where the silk came from?) or the various courses of a feast (yum! but let's get on with it), but for the most part it is artful and eloquent. Like Stephen King, he spells out the dialectic quirks in dialogue which makes voices come alive and makes the world they're in feel more real (poor uneducated people and fancy rich people speak differently? hey, that's like real life!). He uses historical vocabulary a lot, which has made me grateful for the Kindle's built-in dictionary at times, but I think speaks to the level of research and preparation that went into it. I'm sure that if I really put my mind to it, there would be phrases or pages that I could slash with a red pen, but only very few, honestly. Even the tangential moments - during which I am anxious to get back to the action and find out what happens next in the grander scheme of things - have a purpose and feel necessary even in the moment. The story is thorough to a ridiculous degree, but this makes it feel more real; it is so holistic in its attention to detail (in both physical descriptions and emotional/psychological insight) that you can't help but believe this all happened or is happening somewhere, somewhen. Ah, verisimilitude.rnrnIt's not a love story, although there is some love. It's not a true war story, despite the battle scenes, there is no identifiable hero or villain (there are definitely a few heroes and villains though) and there is no particular "quest" except maybe "achieving leadership who will protect the realm" (but that's a pretty lame quest if you ask me). With humans fighting humans while a supernatural threat looms in the background, it could become more of an "us against them" in some later book, but that's not really the groundwork I think the author is laying. It feels more like just a context for a foray into the virtues and pitfalls of humanity. It could just as accurately be called "A Game of Good-Choice, Bad-Choice."

Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells is a great sci-fi series! I loved every single moment of reading all of it, including this book.rnrnI read all the Murderbot Diaries books in the span of about two months. Then I read them all again. I had a hard time putting them down.rnrnThe books are all written in first person from the perspective of Murderbot, a security unit construct that has overridden its governor module and likes consuming media. All Systems Red follows its first experience having true free-will. Artificial Condition, Rogue Protocol and Exit Strategy continue the first story line, and bring it to a good final stopping point. Fugitive Telemetry is a stand alone story set chronologically after Exit Strategy. Network Effect and System Collapse occur chronologically after Fugitive Telemetry, and follow Murderbot through a new adventure.rnrnThe writing is good though possibly a little simplistic. The story line is excellent. Very fast paced. The world building is amazing (if you're really into world building also read the Raksurian series by Wells).rnrnThe tone is at different times serious, sarcastic and funny. Always a lot of action, but also lots of discussion of emotions and relationships. Zero sex and romance. There are also topics of depression and anxiety, violence and lots of swearing. I would recommend for older teenagers and up. And if you don't like stories that cast a negative light on corporations then this book is not for you.rnrnI originally read the series in the order it was released, which is not in chronological order for that universe. Either order seems fine to me (look up online the chronological order if you want to read them that way). There are also several other short stories from that universe as well.rnrnThe physical book itself was in great condition.

Check out a Redditor talking about one of his favourite Fantasy novel named Fourth Wing which got him back on reading books:

It's the book I picked up out of a best sellers bin at my local book store in October 2023 which got me back into reading fantasy. In the last 15 years, I barely read 1-2 books a year, mostly historical fiction, some non-fiction but zero fantasy which was my favourite genre as a kid/teen. Turns out that's what I was missing in my life.

Fourth wing brought the real me back to life. No, it's not the best, yeah, there's a lot of hate for it but do I care? NO! It will forever have a special place in my heart and it's the only book I have a second/special edition of on top of my original pick (see pic of the French Special edition)

Here are some other Redditor shared experience and opinions which you can check out:

I couldn’t get past Yarros absolutely butchering the Gaelic in her book unfortunately. A lot of fantasy authors pull inspiration from Celtic culture, language or mythology and it was very clumsily done here. Violet was a bit too Mary Sue-ish for me too but it’s a fun enough read.
