Average rating4.1
HBO's hit series A GAME OF THRONES is based on George R.R. Martin's internationally bestselling series A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, the greatest fantasy epic of the modern age. A DANCE WITH DRAGONS: DREAMS AND DUST is the first part of the fifth volume in the series. In the aftermath of a colossal battle, new threats are emerging from every direction. Tyrion Lannister, having killed his father, and wrongfully accused of killing his nephew, King Joffrey, has escaped from King's Landing with a price on his head. To the north lies the great Wall of ice and stone - a structure only as strong as those guarding it. Eddard Stark's bastard son Jon Snow has been elected 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. But Jon has enemies both inside and beyond the Wall. And in the east Daenerys Targaryen struggles to hold a city built on dreams and dust.

This is the second last installment (as of yet) of the A Song of Ice and Fire series, which I have been trying to complete in time for the new season of the show. I really love the show, but the books so far have been a genuine delight and they have really proved all those who feel the show missed out too much of the plot correct.
In this book, the first plots which I had not been spoiled for began to unfold. Dorne were particularly enjoyable for me as I did not know many Dornish characters. Additionally, the Wall is always a firm favourite, as is Daenerys. I really enjoyed this installment of the series and can't wait to begin the final book. I think I've only disliked one book so far in this series, and otherwise rated the rest four or five stars, which is pretty impressive for such a long series.
