What should I read next?
//Students often ask this question. What better way to answer than to put book reviews on the wiki? However, I can only read so many books, and my likes/dislikes may not be the same as yours. That's where the "wiki" part of the website comes in. This page is where you will be able to add your own book reviews so that your peers will know what to read and what they should steer clear of!//

Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to.

I first heard about this book from a guy friend of mine who doesn't read. My first thought was, "if HE finds this book interesting, if must be good." I was right. This book is full of characters that you will both love and love to hate. The story is full of violence and twisted romance, engaging settings and inner demons. I have always loved high fantasy (think //Lord of the Rings//) but this story is accessible with never a dull moment. It is the type of story that isn't afraid to kill a character you love - but you end up loving the book more for that fact. I would recommend this book for anyone that enjoys action, romance, politics, and (how could I forget) killer HBO series. Read the books before watching!
