What Members Thought

Second read in 2015:
Yep, doing the FeastDance reread has improved my opinion a lot of both books. Give this a solid five star as well.
Hell, I even enjoyed Tyrion and DAENERYS' chapters! That's a huge improvement.
First read in 2011:
Not as good as the first three, although slightly better than AFFC :(
I think it's because the Dany and Tyrion POVs are boring and should be more condensed.
Here's my comments on each POV:
Varamyr Sixskins (prologue): interesting, great opening
Tyrion Lannister: the first ...more

What can one say but WOW! This fills in the holes from A Feast of Crows but moves the story much farther down the road. But instead of the light at the end of the tunnel, we get a view at the next mountain ahead of us (Mixing metaphors sorry).
Our favorite characters from books past are here and we catch up with some newer ones from the previous book.
I do want GRR to move it along a little. I am all for a good story (and this is a great one) and I love well built worlds (and this one is incredibl ...more

A massive, massive story draws one step closer to the end, if there really is such a thing in the world of "Ice and Fire." Much and more going on here, with the major players getting nearer each other and the big bang that's going to happen... but nobody seems to be in a terrible hurry here. At least two more books I've heard?
Interesting to see Daenerys struggle with who she is, or who she is supposed to be. Frustating to watch Stannis thickheadedly stick with who he thinks he is, no matter wha ...more

He's getting way too cute with killing off characters. If you are going to off a character 5 books in, give me some reason to believe that the book and a half dedicated to the character actually was time invested in the story.

::thud:: finally done. And now I'm with everyone else who can't wait for the next book!
