It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO damn SLOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! But it does create tension. The writing felt like a slog tho - it's almost as if GRRM hates writing this book as much I hated reading all that damn exposition. Lol. I will say the fantasy is super light....don't get much fantastical plot points until about 70% way through. Also so unbelievably fatphobic and orientalist. Like WOW.

I really really enjoyed this. The only thing keeping me from giving it a full five is the incest. 

Daenerys bringing about the new age of the dragons is amazing.

A little too much incest and rape for me to truly enjoy, but the drama is pretty unmatched. 

I would also have liked a little more info on the Night's Watch.
