A Storm of Swords: Steel and Snow by George R.R. Martin
4.0
George, you've done it again! This time, so much better!
THIS BOOK WAS PHENOMENAL.
Well-written, as usual, but a few characters have to be mentioned specially here.
JAIME LANNISTER.
TYRION LANNISTER.
OBERYN MARTELL.
DAVOS SEAWORTH.
These were the characters that stood out in ASoS for me. Jaime and Tyrion go through some really bad moments throughout the book but reading their POVs didn't exactly make me feel all depressed and wanting to jump of a tower. Quite the opposite. Jaime and Tyrion's POVs were among the most lighthearted chapters in this book and that's saying something, considering the pretty messy stuff practically everyone in this book goes through, some even less painful than what Jaime and Tyrion go through respectively. The introduction of Oberyn Martell and the lords and ladies of Dorne was the spice of this book in my opinion. There are so many lands and people in Westeros and all of them have their own stories to tell. Dorne just stood out because of how different the Dornish are from the rest and not one of them was a POV character at all. Davos Seaworth's POV chapters were notable because of Davos himself, a smuggler turned knight. He's hardly highborn and the way he sees things acts as a counterbalance to how the highborn characters think.
Best Scene: see Chapter 70. :)
