Wow. I know I said A Feast For Crows was GRRM’s best, but this might be better. 
The decision to separate books four and five was weird at first, but so worth it to flesh out the world and the characters. The plots intersect and weave together so well, and the world feels so huge while still being intimate and personal.
AND THE CHARACTERS. GRRM continues to show he is a master at character voice and development. The evolution of Theon, the hardening and maturing of Jon Snow, the raving thoughts of Cersei, and the revelation of Tyrion are so well done. Each POV (even the new ones) feel so varied. Each character views the same thing wildly differently. How they view family, war, duty, it’s just so good.
And it’s emotional too! Theon is heartbreaking and his chapters are my fav.
Anyway, such a good book.

It took me years to pick this up because I knew this one focused on the characters I didn't like or found their chapters in previous books boring. It's so huge and it dragged on and on. It's not a bad book, but it felt overloaded by certain stories. At times it felt like it just focused on Dany, John, and Tyrion, which got old fast. Theon's chapters were extremely difficult to get through and made me feel a bit sick honestly. Also, agree with others about the repetition thing. I'm not a Tyrion fan as it is, but the "where do whores go" thing was so freaking annoying it made me dislike him even more. If this had more/some of the characters I love, I would have bumped it to a 3, but for over a thousand pages there was so little I actually enjoyed.
