This is probably the worst book in the series, and I most likely couldn't say what happened even though I just finished it. It dragged and was just boring. Going through a reading slump isn't helping me enjoy the book either, and I honestly don't know whether to read part 2.

It was good to hear about Tyrion, and Reek was interesting, but I got a little bored with Daenerys and Jon. Still! Already reading part two, and am excited to see what happens! Then the loooong wait for "The Winds of Winter" :(
Taking a while to get through the whole series but I'm getting there and still loving these books
I'm finding the writing increasingly irritating. The constant reference to characters and their banners. It's a bad sign when you are also annoyed that the women haven't stood up to centuries of abuse, and no one has figured out that the constant battles means thousands of years stuck in a feudal, patriarchal, society.
Having said that, I am so invested in the main characters that I have to continue reading, but this was a rather painful three weeks.

Um livro óptimo, apesar de se centrar em apenas três personagens principais e algumas secundárias. Não querendo dizer que "A Dança dos Dragões" é um livro mau, antes pelo contrário, tenho a sensação que "Os Reinos do Caos" vai ser ainda melhor.
Couldn’t put it down! An amazing range of characters and stories, set in a medieval, mystical time and lands, weaved into each other’s lives, I don’t know how George does it! Thank you
This is more than a three star rating, honestly, but for me it wasn't quite a four. I'm still unsure as to where exactly I would rate this, so maybe I'll get back to it. This one was much better than A Feast for Crows and with many more interesting characters, but I still maintain that they would have been better books if the characters had been mixed together and it made into two parts with maybe the second part of this book by itself as its own separate installment, but I'll see if I feel the same after I read it.
For some reason, I haven't been enjoying Martin's writing style as much as I did when I read the first three books, but this one read much better than the last. Or maybe these characters are just more interesting, I don't know. The point is that this one was much easier to read than the last. And like I said, full of the more interesting and less annoying characters.
I also appreciate how Martin ended this one. I'm (obviously) reading A Dance with Dragons in two parts, rather than the combined one that you used to be able to get but I couldn't find anywhere to buy. I also read A Storm of Swords in two parts, and part one ended so abruptly that I couldn't not continue because it felt as if someone had literally just sliced the book down the middle instead of finding a good, comfortable place to end it. This wasn't the case in ADWD. The ending was very natural and a good cliffhanger-esque place to stop.
I don't think my heart was fully in this after being so disappointed with AFFC, so maybe if I hadn't still been so pissed off with Brienne and gone into this book with a more open and anger-free mind I would have enjoyed this more. There were a few plot points that I didn't enjoy so much, but seeing everything finally start to weave together, at least as far as Dany is concerned, was really enjoyable to read about. I think I'll definitely enjoy part two more and I'm looking forward to continuing on with this series again.

Godinu sam započeo uz serijal Pesme leda i vatre, pa je bilo logično da tako godinu i završim. Čitanje ove knjige mi se malo odužilo što zbog broja obaveza, što zbog lenjosti jer je decembar i svašta bih nešto radio.
