Most probably the only book I'll ever read by GRRM. And even though this is supposedly middle-grade, the amount of people and animals who die during the 100 pages is quite high and I didn't need to hear the descriptions of a man with his head split in half and people burning to death. I don't mind reading more grim stories but not when it's for younger readers.

Overall though, this story was pretty mediocre. The writing itself is good but the story is bland and at the end, I was asking myself what was the point?
