Yes, I loved sure !! I read it in less time than I have believed, and that's why I bought the two next! Game of Thrones is a series of exciting novel and really well written. No detail is left to chance and that's why I like it :) The only downside, I think, is that there is too much volume and it's a little discouraging but it does the not stop, at least I hope: I want to know the end of the story ^^
