Description
A Storm of Swords By George R. R. Martin
The characters just get better and better with each book. That’s not to say they necessarily become better people (in the brutal world of Westeros, that rarely seems to happen), but they grow and become more intriguing with each installment. With so many storylines and characters, it would be easy to shove a couple off to the side, but, again, Martin seems to have this under control and every character is more than adequately fleshed out. The changing point of view in each chapter works well because it ensures that every story and every character continues to move forward. Each chapter, and therefore each point of view, is in some way significant; I never finished a chapter wondering what the point of it was or what it added to the story. The characters continue to be portrayed in shades of grey, each one unique and changing and none of them fall into the typical archetypes. You’ll be frustrated with some and cheer on others and, as I mentioned earlier, some well-loved characters (and some that we love to hate) meet their ends in “A Storm of Swords.” You never know what the characters are going to throw at you (or at each other, as the case often is) or who’s going to make it out alive…and in a book as brutal as this one, that certainly adds a level of suspense and excitement.
“A Storm of Swords” adds Jaime as a point-of-view character, and he quickly became one of my personal favorites, especially with Tyrion’s viewpoint also being maintained throughout the book to provide a different Lannister perspective. Jaime is an incredibly nuanced character and begins to undergo a lot of change in this novel, and much like Tyrion, he walks the line between protagonist and antagonist, never really being one or the other. With his background and unique perspective, I hope we see Jaime as a point-of-view character (and, indeed, that he survives whatever the next books throw at him) in future books.
