WOW, this book was PACKED. 

My biggest complaint with the second book was that there really seemed to be no real forward movement. The same can absolutely not be said about this book, however! 

Docking half a star because George writes some very creepy things about women and their bodies, but otherwise, this book is just perfection. 

I can't imagine what reading this book without having previously watched the series was like. I'd be on the floor.

It took me...so long to finally finish this, mostly due to the sheer length. Super excited to finally be able to move on to AFFC (though I probably should take a break in order to avoid burnout). Though I do have some complicated feelings about some of GRRM's writing choices, I ultimately think he created one hell of an interesting sandbox to play in--especially since I like picking things apart and the intertwining POVs and massive world give me a lot to work with. Even when I found certain POVs somewhat dull or grating, I still found their journeys interesting. For example,

it didn't take very long at all for Tyrion to get on my nerves, but his character journey from AGOT up until this point is pretty heartbreaking--slowly coming to the belief that no one will ever love him, no matter what what he does to try and earn it. Even Jaime, the one person in the world he's absolutely sure loves him, Tyrion learns has betrayed him. Devastating.

I am begging GRRM to finish this fucking series.
