What Stayed With Me

I’m really enjoying A Song of Ice and Fire so far. Having seen the television adaptation helps me keep track of the characters, families, locations, and events, while the book gives me substantially more detail. That extra depth is one of the things I’m enjoying most. The biggest challenge is simply the length—A Game of Thrones is a very long book, so it took me longer to read.
