I enjoyed this book and thought it a solid continuation of the previous books. Like all of the books before, I wanted more of some stories, but he just gives dribbles of each character since there are so many being told in parallel. I was surprised by a couple twists and am looking forward to reading the next book.

Not my favorite of the series so far but still great. Cersei is such an evil narcissist so I'm grateful George gave us that ending.

The parallels between her and Tyrion at the end of ASOS is just... chef's kiss.

Oh my god the Brienne chapters??!!? Her second to the last chapter won the award for being the one that made me sit their with my mouth open for the longest time.

So glad we got a little bit of zombie catelyn.

Sam is so sweet and I will be crushed if he dies.

Ugh and when they revealed Jon switched the babies!!!!

Consider Jaime avenged in my mind. And I want to give a big shoutout to the ASOIAF wiki for reminding me if we'd seen a character before lol. Also the fact that george is still introducing new(ish) characters and lands?? That dude is crazy and I love his books.

I enjoyed this book but I hope it's not too heretical to say that I didn't enjoy it as much as the previous books in the series. I tried to give three and a half stars but failed and I couldn't bring myself to give it three - it's Game of Thrones!!

I read that the author decided to write a whole section of story for some of the characters rather than a shorter section of the story for all of the characters.

Obviously his call and I wouldn't want to criticise such a talented writer but I spent huge chunks of the book desperate to find out about other characters such as Tyrion and Daenerys as well as wondering what was happening at the Wall???

I have high hopes for the next book in the series but when I read it I will probably be wondering what's happening in King's Landing?!!!

This one was as difficult to read as it apparently was for Mr. Martin to write. There are skews of new characters who were difficult to connect to after having had my favorites for so long. The map seems to grow and be more in use. If I were to be a dedicated fan and student, I would’ve had to take notes about who was held up where, and which places had fallen or were being felled. As it is, I’m quite lost, but I’m at least clear on the main characters.
