Spoiler
I knew Ramsay was going to pop up and that he was not dead. I do not like Theon aka the rapists.Spoiler
I like that Bran and Jon were able to learn a bit about them being wargs. I hate that Danny is surrounded by pedos. Sending the Dire wolves ahead as they stayed in the crypts was smart.Graphic: Sexual violence, Physical abuse, Murder, Incest, Child death, War, Sexism, Misogyny, Rape, Sexual assault, Violence, Fire/Fire injury, Emotional abuse, Child abuse, and Pedophilia

Okay so fav POVs in order (sort of)
1. Catelyn (MILF extraordinaire and literally the only one with a brain cell)
2. Jon
3. Daenerys (House of Undying chapter ftw!)
4. Bran
5. Davos (the whole red priestess business, my man aged 5 decades in 5 minutes lol)
6. Arya and Sansa
7. Tyrion (fairly neutral on his POV though he’s so misogynistic towards his sister and Tysha, not to forget Shae)
8. Theon (he’s dumb of ass and I really do not like him)
Scared for the next book so I am going to take a few days and then start it 💀

More descriptions of food and clothes and more names, than I could ever bother to remember. Despite being longer than the first one, less happens overall and it seems rather obvious, that this tome lays the ground for the next installment.
Overall, I still enjoyed the second book, but not as much, as the first one. I will continue the series and hope, that the next book will be more akin to the first one.
