4.75/5 George R.R. Martin has done it again! A Storm of Swords builds upon everything I loved about A Clash Of Kings.
Although Martin has the ability to craft a near flawless narrative, I often find the endings to the books to be a bit lacklustre especially after reading hundreds of pages to get there. However, I understand that the books are meant to be viewed as one massive tale and not a TV series with a massive plot twist at the end of each season.
Character POV Ranking:
1. Tyrion Lannister
2. Jaime Lannister
3. Jon Snow
4. Sansa Stark
5. Arya Stark
6. Davos Seaworth
7. Catelyn Stark
8. Daenerys Targaryen
9. Samwell Tarly
10. Bran Stark
