It's been a while since I read this book, but I remember being deeply disappointed with its needlessly sad ending.howlinglibraries's review against another edition

This was absolutely lovely, though I'm not sure what fantasy world I was living in when I thought that a "children's book" by GRRM would be anything like other children's books! To be fair, this book is probably about as happy and hopeful of a story as ol' George is capable of writing. 😂
I was reading this to my 6-year-old and am very grateful that he wasn't interested enough in the plot to complain when we "forgot" to read the last couple of chapters together, because he's a very compassionate and empathetic sort who gets his little heart broken every time anything bad happens to a character, and I'm not sure he could have handled the ending of this one. ♥
