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.

This book can be super triggering. While there isn’t any direct pedophilia on the page, it is alluded to many times. This deals with a lot of themes and explores them in detail sometimes.kyliereads341's review against another edition
