This was the second book I read of the series. I'd bought 'A Clash of Kings' and had read that immediately after watching the TV series.The problem with the series was that there was a lot of information to condense into 10 episodes. I finished the series knowing the major plot points and characters. I didn't understand the rest - the other characters and their motives - because there was far too much information to digest.I believe that any fan of the series should read this. The TV show was very faithful to the book, except for the addition of a couple of scenes. The main difference was that the book allowed me to understand the plot correctly.The book allowed me to understand all that. It has allowed me to understand what is going on in future books.I really, and unexpectedly, enjoyed it. I'm not a fan of fantasy, nor do I enjoy reading books after I've seen the film/series that inspired them.
