4.5

You really get a good bang for your buck with this book, as there is a lot of content, and I think that was my favorite part of it. The chapters are fairly short and punchy, through the perspective of about eight different people, and each character goes on their own journey throughout the realm of Westeros. This book is lengthy and took me months to read, and although there is a lot to take in and the lore is complex, I never had trouble picking it back up. If I didn’t like one storyline, I could just read through to the next chapter and chances were there’d be something for me there. I really enjoyed most character’s perspectives, and even the more stale storylines were still great. There’s just so much to talk about with this book- after I got done reading it I found myself trying to relay the plot back to myself from start to finish, but there’s so much back story and information, I found it hard doing so, in the best way possible. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series.
