However, putting that aside. I loved how the story has more form than its predecessor and introduces more characters to us, as well as making previous characters more rounded and robust. I do have to say that its pacing was kind of troublesome to me as I feel that a lot did happen in the book but it was pretty droll throughout the major events

And it's a great, if harrowing read.
Ps, presumably Daenerys will eventually feature as something more than a wanderer.

Even though I initially read this book back in the early 2000’s I’m glad I picked up my computer again.
It’s a fantastic read, but I do feel the GRRM relies too much on SA to add drama or character development.
The larger themes of war and all its players is still thrilling.

definitely a lot slower and more about war plans and fighting
with king robert and lord ned dead, the north and south has been split between multiple kings
Daenerys fights for ships and the saftey of her clansmen against rich men and lords
theres so much to go into but if you watched the show first you wont be disappointed with extra information( so much talking!)
