A long book but man did I get sucked in.
At the beginning I was just so annoying by Catelyn’s povs. They were just boring and she was a limp noodle of a character. As the book went on and she actually started to not just exist, her povs weren’t so bad.
Jon’s povs were much the same in that I just didn’t care about what was happening with him until he got to the Fist.
And then there’s Bran. I just do not enjoy his povs at all. And I can’t place my finger on why.
Theon was infuriating at first because he though everybody owed him something. But I enjoyed how he still had that mentality at the end but was also actively working to prove that he did deserve what he thought he did.
Arya and Tyrion were by far the most fun povs.
