A Storm of Swords: Steel and Snow by George R.R. Martin

challenging dark tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

Definitely suffers from having been split into two books, and most of the best parts being left for Blood and Gold, but it's still ASOIAF and it still slaps.
