Liked it better than the previous book. As for characters, I continue to really like Bran, Arya, and Tyrion, and the character development of Catelyn and Sansa has really made them grow on me. Brienne is an instant new favorite secondary character. However, I have to say that how Lollys is handled is abysmal, gross, and totally unnecessary (one of Shae's comments in particular instantly killed any appreciation I had for Shae's character in a way I don't think was fully intentional by the author.) The plot itself is deeply engaging. Martin is great at twists -- they're not last-minute rug pulls for twists' sake, but subtly foreshadowed in such a way that you either get the dawning realization beforehand, or that moments before make sudden sense after the unexpected happens. Though plot threads are dropped and left for long stretches at a time, they do end up tying together in satisfying ways. I think the slower pacing works quite well here.

The book changed tonally drastically in the last 10 or so chapters, an indicator of what’s to come in the next book. But I really liked it and I cannot stop thinking about it. I fear the red wedding scene a lot. I want to skip it and maybe I will. Also, Theon you’re an ass. 
Okay so fav POVs in order (sort of)
1. Catelyn (MILF extraordinaire and literally the only one with a brain cell)
2. Jon 
3. Daenerys (House of Undying chapter ftw!)
4. Bran
5. Davos (the whole red priestess business, my man aged 5 decades in 5 minutes lol)
6. Arya and Sansa
7. Tyrion (fairly neutral on his POV though he’s so misogynistic towards his sister and Tysha, not to forget Shae)
8. Theon (he’s dumb of ass and I really do not like him)
Scared for the next book so I am going to take a few days and then start it 💀

I love GRRM more than words. The battle on the black water seemed to go on forever. I loved Tyrion in the show but in the book… I honestly hate his POV. But I love these books and will be thinking about them forever!!

“People often claim to hunger for truth, but seldom like the taste when it's served up.” 

“I will hurt you for this. I don't know how yet, but give me time. A day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and you'll know the debt is paid.” 

“When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say.” 

“He who hurries through life hurries to his grave.” 

I want to weep, she thought. I want to be comforted. I’m so tired of being strong. I want to be foolish and frightened for once. Just for a small while, that’s all …a day … an hour ...
...One day, she promised herself as she lay abed, one day she would allow herself to be less than strong.
But not today. It could not be today.”
