floackle's review against another edition
3.0
This is easily the weakest of the series, with meandering plots, glacier pacing, and characters that are either weak or uninteresting. It also is full of deeply complex characterization, wonderfully deep world building, and develops some of the most engaging and theory inducing plots in the series. Even when Martin is bad, he's good.

I really feel like this book was a filler. I saw no progress on the story line. And I didn't enjoy having POVs from characters we have not properly met yet as I found it hard to differentiate between them. I did enjoy the no Bran in this book

Truly fantastic addition to a fantastic series, on my third reread and never gets boring. Arianne, Darkstar and the Sand Snakes are some of my favourite characters.
Graphic: War, Misogyny, and Death
Moderate: Blood, Murder, Violence, Sexual violence, and Torture

Great book; it was equally enjoyable as the past three books. I loved how, at the end of the book, Martin brought back things from the beginning of both the book and series. He connects his whole story together in ways that many other authors do not. Also a phenominal array of characters, as well as architectures. Overall, the thoroughness of the world that Martin creates is stunning.
