2.5
slow-paced

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No

It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO damn SLOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! But it does create tension. The writing felt like a slog tho - it's almost as if GRRM hates writing this book as much I hated reading all that damn exposition. Lol. I will say the fantasy is super light....don't get much fantastical plot points until about 70% way through. Also so unbelievably fatphobic and orientalist. Like WOW.
