A solid A Song of Ice and Fire entry, with mesmerizing characters and surprising twists that enrich this complex world.
My biggest - and somewhat perplexed - complaint relates to Davos. For some reason, I find his POV so boring, even though he has one of the most interesting backstories.
On the other side of the spectrum, there is a bunch of characters that earn extra points in the books. Melissandre's perspective is always so intriguing, and Jon Snow has a mind of his own and a developed personality, just to mention a few. Quite a few plot points and characters were cut off or trimmed from the series, and I'm glad that we have the books dive deeper into one of Martin's most notorious skills: the webb of actions and consequences that plagues and motivates his intricate characters.
