This book was so much better than the 2nd book. I was able to read this in a little under a month. The stories behind the book and the character development are very well done.

I was stunned by what went on a little past the middle of the book and how he killed off one of the main characters. I thought something like that would happen, but not in the middle.

This book is very well done, and I don’t know what he could have done to make it more interesting.

Good book just really fucking slow , like George we don't need to know everyone name title and family line just get to the point  😒

There was more going on with all the characters in this book compared to the last one. There was so much that I don't know where to start. 

I almost threw my book when the Frey's killed Robb and Catelyn. I was very upset because I was rooting for both of them. And I thought the Frey's reasoning for why is completely stupid and ridiculous. 

Jorah's detrayal coming to light wasn't surprising. When he kissed Daenerys and proclaimed his love, I initially thought he was going to eventually sell her to one of the enemy kings, instead of him having been selling her secrets and moves the whole time.

And Petyr kissing Sansa was weird amd gross of him. I'm pretty sure it was purely because Sansa is Cat's child. And then to have Lysa blame Sansa was totally unhinged. Cemented my hate for Lysa. Poor Sansa for going through that after everything she's been through with Joffery.
