What's the best book in A Song of Ice and Fire?

[Miller192]

For those that have read the books, which did you like best? I'm about 150 pages away from finishing A Clash of Kings and wanted to get everyone's take. All four of you.

[ChaosLex]

A Storm of Swords. No question.

[JamesI]

A Storm of Swords. No question.

Without a doubt the best book so far. Dance might be better, as could the later books but of the first 4, Storm is the best.

I'd rank them:
Storm of Swords
Game of Thrones
Clash of Kings
Feast of Crows.

All four of us nerds?

I got confused. You should erase your quoting me.

Thanks bud. Just didn't wanna ruin anything for Miller.

I probably like Clash of Kings the best, but really the first three books are all very excellent. Feast for Crows isn't bad, but it does suffer from some awkward pacing, I think. GRRM seems to suffer from having too many "main" characters who are too spread out.

Swords and it's not even close. I also agree Dance could be better, but out of the 4 currently out it's Swords. I'm not sure if I have Game or Kings 2nd though and right now I have A Feast for Crows 4th. I have 300 or so pages left in Crows so it's possible that it could move up the list, but I doubt that.

Feast may have had somewhat a problem with that. Though the only POVs I would have considered removing were some of the Greyjoy stuff, perhaps a little of the Martells.

I think Feast was a good book, just not as good as the first 3.

I liked the Greyjoy stuff. Asha Greyjoy cemented herself as one of my favorite characters.

I'll finish Clash tonight and I really like her so far.

I'm glad I decided to start reading the books and not wait for season 2. I've got a face to a lot of names so it comes alive pretty well for me.

I'm jumping right into Storm of Swords when I'm finished.

I started rereading over the weekend to refresh my memory on what the heck is going on since it's been a while. Just about done with Kings, so I should be able to plow through Swords and Crows just in time for the new release.

I'm planning on picking up the books and reading them on the train to work. Can't wait!

I had to do the same thing when I picked up Crows. I started it, then put it down, and refreshed my memory.

Well, I was just going to reread Crows, but that only lasted a chapter or two.
