Aaand there we have it! After 48 hours of audio, I have finally finished A Song of Ice and Fire as it currently stands and I can join you all in the neverending wait for this series conclusion.
Yes, its been years. Yes, its unlikely to happen but at this point, lets just accept that and move on lol
I enjoyed this for all the reasons I've loved every other book, the characters. Despite the scope of what is going on throughout Westeros, the meat of these books are the characters and their complexity throughout which I really love as a reader and a writer who tends to write more character driven books.
As always, I was not a fan of the Daenerys chapters because of how sexual they are but I did love how this young woman was navigating a world of men who are years older than her and more experienced. She makes silly choices sure but she has gone through so much and i stan her in the books and the show. What i really enjoyed about this was the small tidbit from Ser Barriston about Rhaegar and Lyanna. It definitely proves the R+L=J stuff, even if the books havent discovered that yet. He said it so casually that what else would it be? lol
As always, I wanted Cersei to have suffered more and the Reek/Theon stuff was insane but overall, the show did really well with adjusting for screen but keeping the important stuff.
The Griff/Young Griff stuff is such a major change but again, the show was better in making that a bit neater.
Overall, I'm glad I got through this monster of a series and now, my watch has ended
