It's 807 pages, and I was hooked into the series at page 800. It's dark and light with mystery, intrigue, war, and conflict and enough characters that you can fine plenty to love and plenty to hate. The design of the book can seem a bit spastic with each chapter focusing on a different character. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because I just don't care about some of the characters--and thus chapters--at all.

Once I got into this book I could not put it down. Such amazing writing that it didn't seem like I was reading so many pages. Wish he didn't kill off some of the main characters however, understand why he did. Will start the second book in the series when I finish my pile I am currently working on. So many books!!

This book makes for an incredibly tedious and long read because the “mystery” element of the plot—the interconnection of Jon Arryn’s death and Bran’s “accident”—isn’t a mystery to the reader. You read from the viewpoints of multiple different characters and can easily connect the different pieces of the Lannister conspiracy, but the characters are often half a continent’s distance apart and never interact, so it takes them 600 pages to put together what you’ve known from page 50. And it’s just badly paced, anyways: Daenerys chapters are interspersed once every 150+ pages of the book and are strung out months apart like pearls on a string. But her chapters and the young Stark kids + Jon make the most compelling and interesting reads, anyways.
