"I added this book first, because it is the book with the most magic. We read a lot of Daenerys wiht her dragons and Bran with his "greensight". While this book doesn't have the most fighting or political intrigue, it's the most magical, and thus, the bast fantasy in the series."

"I voted this book second, because there are a lot of head turners in this book- the Red Wedding, "Zombie Catelyn", Also, I think Martin started listening to his fan base, because the disgusting sex is much less, compare to the first 2 books. He's able to control the pace of the book and it has a great deal of action, although like the rest of the books, very little in the way of magic."

"I voted this book third, only because it's not as boring as the second or fourth books. It has very little in the way of refined writing, and GRRM is a disgusting old man. The story is interesting, and you end up cheering for the Starks and hating the Lannisters. The direwolves are cool, but aside from that, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of magic."

"I rated this book fourth, only because it's not the worst book in the series. GRRM has serious difficulties controlling the pacing in this book, it's disgusting, and it's highly political, making it a snore of a read."

"There is very little redeeming qualities in this book. Probably the only positive thing out of it, is that it isn't littered with "women flowering", rape, incest, prostitutes, necrophilia, and pedophilia. There is some, which still make GRRM a disgusting old man. Maybe the twist at the end with Cersei is semi-interesting, although it almost felt forced."
