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.

Good book just really fucking slow , like George we don't need to know everyone name title and family line just get to the point  😒
But when we get story oh boy do we get story, every god damn storyline is exciting, dark and page turning 🔥🔥


Can't wait to read the next book shame I'll run out of them soon
