I finished "A Storm of Swords" a few weeks ago, it is the third book in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series by George R.R. Martin. Amazon Link for the summary and details...
This book was lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng and really, really good! It moved along several plots that had been simmering for the first couple thousand pages of the series. Martin's ability to make a long story interesting is impressive.
The themes throughout the first books continue, the ones that are most overt to me involve morality. There are characters that you are sure you hate that end up, maybe, being not so bad. The morally pure (good or evil) players seem to have the most problems getting their way and also seem to have a short life span.
This installment had quite a few surprises and twists that launched me right into book 4. I had planned on taking a break from the series but here I am. Thus far it has been much slower and is focusing on characters that are not as interesting. I may take a mid-book break yet...
