A Dance with Dragons
George R.R. Martin
Bantam, 2011
(For those that haven’t read the book, an attempt has been made to make this review as spoiler-free as possible. Still, read at your own risk).
Where Have all the Heroes Gone?
After what had become for A Song of Ice and Fire fans a seemingly interminable delay, George R.R. Martin’s A Dance With Dragons was finally released on July 12, five years and eight months after the release of the previous book in the series, A Feast for Crows. In that nearly six-year absence, the series took on fans like a submarine made out of wiffle balls takes on water.
