A bit of a slow burn, but a great book. I loved seeing the varied POVs from around the Seven Kingdoms, and GRRM proves again that he is a master of character.

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.

This book was long but the further I got, the more connected everything became... Characters I once loved grew more annoying, and I began to have a soft spot for even those characters I used to hate. I cannot wait to continue reading asoiaf
