I’ve started reading The Blade Itself, by Joe Abercrombie. It’s quite good so far, and a nice change of pace from politics. I’ve had trouble really getting into A Game of Thrones this time, mainly (I think) because I watched the show at the same time and really am just eager to get my hands on a copy of A Dance with Dragons. Which makes me realize that starting a new book right now, only a couple days before Dance comes out is not the most brilliant idea ever. But still, it’s a good book.
