A Dance with Dragons by George R.R. Martin
4.0
3.5 stars rounded up to 4 for the fourth of the book that piqued my interest. GRRM is a wonderful writer, but as everyone else has said, at least three fourths of this novel is filler. If I wasn't so stubborn or afraid of missing something, I would have skipped major parts of it. For instance I had to read two books in between this novel just to allow my brain to roll over from the monotony: namely, lots of feasts and deliberating on what to do next.
In all, the 25% of the book that made me go, "WHAT.... " in true GRRM fashion was excellent, but read at your own risk.

the whole Quentin Martell plot?? Literally introduced and ripped away in this one book... totally pointless.In all, the 25% of the book that made me go, "WHAT.... " in true GRRM fashion was excellent, but read at your own risk.
