Man the body count continues to rise in this one, and I'll be honest some of my theories have been blown to bits. I'm excited to see where this goes if only because now I'm so far into it.
Finished! Finally a few threads are starting to come together. New cliffhangers abound, however. I'm glad for a little break between books now, and yet I hope it's not another 5 years before the next one!

After long years of waiting I was eager to dive back into one of the most richly developed fantasy worlds that also bears so much resemblance to our own stories of the past.
I enjoyed most of this book, but some chapters had a tendency to mine old veins that were better explored in other POVs. I suppose after 10+ years I am eager to see the tale told in full and am simply letting my impatience show.
An excellent book for anyone who reads, has read, or will learn to read.

With so much going on with the various characters, it was interesting to see where the focus was. I felt sone characters needed more, others less. And overall, you have to wonder, with so much going on, why did the show creators feel the need to make up content? Can't wait for book 6. Come on George...
The fifth volume of this saga contains plenty more of the features I've come to expect from George R.R. Martin's fantasy: plenty of heraldry, plenty of political intrigue, and - of course - the unexpected plot twist, particularly in the unexpected deaths of relatively significant characters. As a matter of fact, I find the series getting harder to follow because the author keeps killing off the characters that I have come to know and love. This particular installment felt a little dry in the middle, and the intrigue surrounding Danaerys and Mereen seemed to go on too long to too little purpose, but I think the ending was interesting and maybe makes up for it. Overall, I enjoyed the book and I am still devoted to the series (and I have been for a while, long before it became an HBO phenomenon).
This book was fine. Much longer than it had to be. I think what made the first three books was how tight the scope was. We had a handful of POVs across Westeros (minus Dany), but by the time Feast and Dance come around we have a million POVs all over the place. So many feel like they have no purpose but to extend the word count. I feel like the plot between AFFC and ADWD crawled at a snail’s pace and had these been one book instead of 2, it could’ve been great.
