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.
