The book starts slowly - like most of them. The ending however is quite outstanding in its dynamic and twisting turns that it takes. After the most recent re-read I would describe this book as the first of the "grown-up" ones of the series. This is where I would say things go on another level. We see the first major battles described. More politics and grand scheming than ever before. The gruesome and dark finale. Overall left me very pleased.
