3.5

the 2nd book in the series 
definitely a lot slower and more about war plans and fighting
with king robert and lord ned dead, the north and south has been split between multiple kings 
Daenerys fights for ships and the saftey of her clansmen against rich men and lords
theres so much to go into but if you watched the show first you wont be disappointed with extra information( so much talking!)

Je länger ich’s gelesen hab, desto besser wurde es. Wenn man sich die Zeit nimmt um richtig in die Welt abzutauchen ist es super!

GOD. that was crazy.

first of all... SANSA! and the Tyrells! God, i have said all prayers just to keep her safe. My little bird suffered so much I feel so so bad. She had no family, alone with her abuser and dreaming of her dead direwolf with her! AND MY WIFE MARGAERYYYYYY!

Tyrion is fucked after the battle PLEASE. I loved loved LOOOVED his interactions with Cersei. the most entertaining arguments of all time mind you. They don't and will never get along unless they'll fulfill each other's quests and it's soooo funny and amusing to look at.

Arya escaping Harrenhall WE CHEERED! VALAR MORGHULIS, her murderer era has begun and i'm so thrilled for her story arc.

THEON GREYJOY YOU WILL ROT in a pig swamp with your head cvt-off. I hate you. I hate traitors. You're Stupid and RUTHLESS. you destroyed WINTERFELL. I was thankful Ramsay beated your ass but I'm gonna take it back because Ramsay's worse than a rat.

Catelyn and Brienne <3 small interaction but it was okay!

Bran. Yeah hes alright. Hodor.

DAVOOOOOOOOS SEAWORTH. I need more of him. Melisandre carried. I'm so stoked for her.

Daenerys.... only five chapters and Qarth has done her DIRTY she's been betrayed and has been fed lies please 😭.

PRAYING FOR WHAT'S TO COME. I'm SO EXCITED FOR THE TYRELLS THOUGH.

Reread; love Tyrion, Arya and Danny’s storylines. Always forget how complex that world building is.
