This book is annoying because after 3 books and a bunch of characters I am invested in, GRRM decides to introduce several new ones and I'm supposed to give a shit about them. Takes my favorite ones away for this entire book. I am plugging along tho. Will be glad when I've read this and A Dance With Dragons. But watch. By the time I do that the 6th one will be out.
