Reread to compare to the show. 
Even though I initially read this book back in the early 2000’s I’m glad I picked up my computer again. 
It’s a fantastic read, but I  do feel the GRRM relies too much on SA to add drama or character development. 
The larger themes of war and all its players is still thrilling.
