The book is entirely too long for it’s own good, but I still found myself eagerly turning pages to find out what happens next. I rate it slightly lower than book 1 because I feel that it takes too long for the plot to really get going. But my love for these characters and their continued adventures keeps me from giving it any lower than 4/5.

I can’t finish this.

It’s been 2 weeks since I put it on hold because it was too violently misogynistic and I can’t bring myself to pick it back up.

I liked the show, but the book is just way too much. And too long.

Also, have of the characters are literal children, which makes what happens to them downright horrific. Sansa is like 12, I think Arya is 10…? So the things happening to them are even more disgusting than in the show where they were aged up. I can’t believe how people can read this and not bat an eye at the horrors these kids go through.

This book was a slog to get through. I enjoyed it at first, but over time it just got unbearable. There was endless rape and misogyny, both by the characters and the author. Most of the exciting battles and action scenes were skipped in favor of someone talking about the boring aftermath. Whole chapters could have been cut, shortening this book immensely, to the story's great favor. 

Overall, I had such high hopes, but as the book went on and on and on, it just took those hopes away. I'm not even sure I'll ready the next one to be honest.
