Tyrion's chapters are kind of like watching a train crash. He reminds me of Stannis in the opposite. Neither can be courteous even though it would help them a lot, earn them less enemies, and probably save lives. Where is female socialization when you need it, I tell you! But wow, that shadow baby thing was so horrific and disgusting from the Davos POV, even though it's so brief. It was really disturbing.
Littlefinger must have been doing some wizardry to get that Tyrell marriage pact, but I suppose they probably felt like this was the winning side. Somehow I feel like they're doomed. Any side you think is winning is probably doomed. I expect that Stannis is the safest because he seems doomed anyhow. And he's got them shadow babies.
The Stark kid chapters are alright too. They're a relief because you know this kid hasn't committed any human rights violations yet. Bran's were probably the most interesting, but I liked hearing from Arya and Sansa as well. And it was funny watching Dany try her hardest to get that ship! And then Barristan with the funniest fake name ever shows. Arstan Whitebeard, that's good. She got robbed at the House of the Undying, where was all this about the secret dragon language? Also, I wonder if she went the right way because Pyat says the first door to your right, and in one she takes the rightmost door, which sounds like the farther right. Who knows, maybe the prophecy is all a crock anyhow.

I did not like it as much as the first, but it was not bad.
Idk. There’s something about these books that scream “this was written by a man!!!” I could give about 58 examples but I’d rather die than think about them.
Again, just like the first book, the discussion of underaged sex and sexuality will turn your stomach. It’s really not doing what Georgey thinks it’s doing. It’s pretty vile.
Other than that, the relationships and politics are quite interesting! Would not read again, but mostly happy I read it once.

Daenerys', Theon's and Davos's chapters were the best ones.
