Moderate: Infidelity, War, Death of parent, and Murder
Minor: Suicidal thoughts, Blood, Animal death, Rape, Physical abuse, Incest, Slavery, and Sexual content
The book is less graphic than the TV show. There are characters you love and ones you love to hate. It is a wild ride in search of justice and peace.shiningpalm's review

Stylistically, Martin’s prose and tone remains the same however he is able to invigorate each character with a distinct voice that makes it clear who the narrative is following. It’s hard not to become invested in the characters Martin has crafted here: even those which are deliberately unlikable are fascinatingly complex, making you root for them in spite of yourself. For me, the stand-out characters are Daenerys, Jon, Catelyn, Tyrion and Sansa. Not only does this book give a fascinating insight into their characters and their motivations, it shows just how clever, funny, cruel and kind all three are — the depth of which is lacking when it comes to their on-screen counterpoints. Personally, I am a Sansa apologist — that little girl can do no wrong.
