Second read-through. Actual review: 4.5/5
I found myself enjoying the first book the second time around reading it over this book. Granted, there is a HUGE amount of detail in this book. I hadn't noticed a lot of the foreshadowing in Martin's writing either, but he definitely puts a lot of thought and artistry into his world.
Whereas the first book was a carbon copy of the first series, the second book definitely takes its veering away from the show (without giving any spoilers away).
I originally gave it a 5/5, but the second read-through, I didn't enjoy it as much. The unending detail in Bran's chapters are a little overwhelming, and boring.
