Unfortunately I think was definitely the weakest book in the series. Very little actually happens in the various story arcs (except in the last 50 pgs) and there are so many different point of view I kind of stopped caring and started skimming.

I hope the fame of the tv show isn't ruining Martin's ability to write great books. ...more

This book was brilliant. I love all the surprised, good and bad. Seeing Jon and Ary and Danny and Tyrion, what happen. Then, thankfully it went on from book four's time period, too. Bringing us more surprises and cliffhangers.

I truly deeply loved this. Can't wait for the next.
