Summary and analyses of the chapter in the course of a 10th reread by Slynt. Re-read: Sam I: It ain't over until the fat boy swings an obsidian blade +2 is a nice ending sentence of a book. Though on the other hand in the 2nd one it makes RW happen like 100 pages in, maybe a bit too early if one considered it a partially-independent volume, so who can say), but likely those are not the only two configurations from all the editions. Despite my couple complaints (which are really more personal in nature than anything necessarily "wrong" with the book), "A Storm of Swords" is a solid entry in the series. It takes the themes and plots from the first two books and builds upon them to create a novel that is better, darker, and more intriguing than the first two. 4StCx.
