    Do you think is too late to start reading Game of Thrones?

    Highlights: One of the toughest reads I have ever come across. Actually no, it is the toughest. Very thorough in its research of the various landscapes the Donner party had to traverse through, very detailed in the mannerisms, the dress, the society at the time, and what it took to survive when you have nothing left. It's respectful of the people who were in the disaster, and the author treated them as they should be treated, like ordinary people. This book has so many great quotes, most importantly about life and death itself. “Death was the rule, life the exception.” I think this book sums up what it is into that one statement. Very hard to read but absolutely worth it. Disappointments: Not much of a disappointment, BUT be warned, this is a graphic book, it is not enjoyable to read. It is very hard. But that's what makes it very important to read. Overall, I will not be reading this ever again no matter how much I loved it. I'm terrified, horrified, and perplexed at the limits of what humans can do.

    Highlights: ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. Very compelling, short and sweet way of writing, thrown into this world, questions answered along the way, love it. I love the characters, every single one of them in this book. The worldbuilding and lore is insane, and I LOVE that the author doesn’t have to hold your hand and explain the world to you. I’m so unbelievably excited for the next book Sunbringer. Disappointments: NONE BABEYY.
