adventurous dark funny mysterious relaxing tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

What an epic! it took me a good month to finish but I enjoyed every hour spent reading it. 
Great, diverse characters (self-confessed Cersei fangirl), POVs, settings and plots to keep you interested, all of which are well written with equally funny dialogue, beautiful scenery and engaging action. 
A slow read but a good one, slightly anti-climatic ending but does not disappoint.
