A Dance with Dragons by George R.R. Martin
3.0
Read for Snark Squad Pod! Check out all my feelings on the A Dance with Dragons episode.
Maybe that's on the low side for a rating, but this series messes with my feelings. It undoubtedly had some of my favorite characters ever, but it needs to be basically half as long. Honestly, it's so repetitive and meandering sometimes, it's painful. It's not world building, it's not bringing us anywhere, it's not suspense at this point. It just needs to be EDITED.
The format of this book also really bothered me. Some character POVs were completely missing from the last book, and we get them here, but some of the story is repeated, and then random POVs from the last book get tacked on to this book. Like... why?
I don't know why. But I did it! I read all 5 published novels and there were highs and there lows, but mostly, there were a shit ton of words.
