Well written and stuffed with rich detail as always but I found this one a real slog.  Each chapter is told from the perspective of a different character, but there was.  SO.  MUCH.  Daenerys.  

I really am not interested.  I want Jaime, Theon, Tyrion, Brienne, Sansa and Jon, not chapter after chapter of Daenerys playing politics, eating figs and going on and on about bloody dragons.
