kayjoram 's review for:
A Dance with Dragons
by George R.R. Martin
Ok…I will try not to make this as long as the book was – the key word is try here ok? So! i didn’t love this at all – i didn’t even really like it…but i didn’t hate it…it was kind of like reading the directions to your brand new computer! I wanted to just dive into season 5 but the reader in me was like NO! READ IT FIRST! so i have no idea how it matches up with the show BUT I will say that I don’t know if i can handle another book so long as this one. It was very informative and it obviously filled in the gaps from the last book (as it was supposed to) but it just felt like trying to eat 8 crackers at a time – totally doable but dry and a little torturous!
Anyways I managed to Choke down my 8 crackers and Towards the end I was flipping pages faster and faster hoping! HOPING that it would ALL FINALLY COME TOGETHER! This is the longest story of my life and I will admit that i am the most IMPATIENT reader ever. Sometimes I feel like this is just dragging out and it makes me want to throw my kindle (I never have!) In short I was disappointed. Like who the hell is Jon Snow’s mom? and When the hell do we get to see Arya come back to Westeros? WHERE IS SANSA?! Wait isn’t there a wild baby brother? where the hell is he? Is Jon DEAD?! or is he a wight?! Maaaan! I don’t know how people think Winterfell is really dead? I can’t wait until we see the grand reveal in the story….getting to that grand reveal though may very well be the death of me.
The most surprising thing in this book? For me? was Varys. He has a nifty part where I am all but left with my mouth hanging open. Seriously the last 3 pages were the most surprising to me. I mean i rolled my eyes at Dany of course because i just don’t really get her and at Jorah because come on man. I am proud of Selmy and Tyrion because it’s Tyrion. I was sad for Quentyn but more sad for Cersei and her infinite washings. Now give me the last damn book so i can just move on with life. I hate loose ends and this installment left PLENTY. Sighs. I guess I’ll sit and unhappily wait this out with the rest of the fandom….
