The story is definitely not for the faint of heart, as many scenes personally made me feel squeamish and uncomfortable. The detail written in these scenes make you feel like you are witnessing them yourselves and you can sense the dread and hopelessness. There are also many moments where you feel hopeful and optimistic. Overall though, the feeling of dread is the most prominent.
I am planning to continue reading the series, and if the later books are as good as this one, I am excited to see where the world of A Song of Ice and Fire is headed.
