EDIT: I bumped it up to a five. Aside from Storm, this is the best character work I’ve read in a book. We get fantastic dialogue, inner voice, and POVs from cultures and characters we hardly ever see. The King’s Landing and Ironborn chapters were among my favs.

Although it is not explicit, there are multiple mentions of adults saying sexually violent things about children. It’s brief, but be aware.ten_telegrams's review against another edition

It is a much slower pace than I remember, with a lot more small expository moments than before (which was already quite a substantial number) and many of the POVs were not ones I found much interest in. It is an odd thing to be indifferent to a 900+ page book.
I will say that I don't really recommend the audio unless you just need it (like I did). I found the narration distracting, and while it is technically good it just didn't work for me.
