I don't understand how the garbage that is book 4 was written in the same batch as this. The writing is SO much better--very cinematic at times--and the characters are infinitely more interesting. New voices and locations mixed in with the old favorites, with cliffhanger endings for nearly every character. Lots of major pieces being moved into place for what will be an epic showdown. Armies, personal schemes, things that aren't human.... The Winds of Winter is going to be awesome.

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. Even doing that it took me months to read because I would put it down for weeks a time. Martin's editors seriously need to step it up. I hope the fame of the tv show isn't ruining Martin's ability to write great books.

This took me MONTHS to finish and while I enjoyed the story, the second half of this book really dragged on.

Good book. Didn't like the way he split up books 4 and 5 with the different storylines, so it felt much longer....
