Jim's Review
🐛
Jim needs to warn you upfront: do NOT get attached to anyone. Martin has a reputation for ruthlessness and he earned every bit of it. That said, the world of Westeros is so ridiculously detailed that Jim could burrow through it forever. The political scheming is top-tier, the characters are complex, and that ending had Jim's jaw on the floor. Yes, the series isn't finished. Read it anyway. Four worms — winter is coming, and so should you.
