I enjoyed it. It’s a bit confusing at times and there’s so many characters. Sometimes I wish I could just stay on a single character instead of flipping to one character to another’s pov but this book is more plot driven.

Barely anything interesting happened for most of the book, unless you count someone (a woman/a child) being raped every second chapter as "interesting".
Daenerys', Theon's and Davos's chapters were the best ones.
