Incredibly bloody, especially towards the middle, but I expected that (anybody would, right?). The in-world misogyny makes sense given the material of ASoIaF, yet it can still be hard to read at times.
It's a gripping read that gave me a good few mental conundrums where monarchies are concerned, which is something I enjoy! I adore the world built in these books and I wasn't disappointed in how it was fleshed out here.
