Book Review: ‘A Dance with Dragons’ by George R.R. Martin
A Dance with Dragons is the fifth book in A Song of Ice and Fire series and it is extremely long. It felt like it took me forever to read. Not just because of the length, but because most of it was rather boring. It seems with each added book to the series comes more added […]
