Christos Hadjisofokli anodosdc — Had high hopes for this book and indeed the series but was rather disappointed. It's a good, covnicing story, quite complex with several sub-plots. As the title implies, it's about politics and power games in a realistically gritty medieval setting at a time when most such issues were settled by wars. The author does a good job of juggling and developing all the threads he's got going but ultimately it's not an appealing story and the telling of it is rather long-winded so it feels like a slog. The writing is good but not sufficiently so to charm me and draw me in. Realistic characters, well developed but I didn't really connect with any of them - except perhaps the bastard and the dwarf - to really care what'll happen to them. Untypically for a book of its kind none of the heroes are sacred and many aren't necessarily spared a bad (often terminal!) fate which comes as a refreshing surprise. I'm somewhat intrigued to know how it all pans out so I wouldn't mind if someone summarised the outcome but I don't feel I want to savour each development and make it last. (Mind you, given the size of the series which is in fact yet unfinished, even a summary would be pretty long!) I suspect the HBO series will be easier to follow and may well serve as the shorter version I'm looking for. Just started it: it has potential but it's too early for a clear verdict. But I definitely won't be reading any more of the books. Got the idea and I'm happy to move on.
