This installment of A Song of Ice & Fire series is a little different than the previous books but it is still just as interesting. Events in the series seem to have slowed down a little bit since the events of the previous book but that is probably due to the fact only half of the point of view characters are in this book. Almost all of the characters in this book are new point of view characters some get less page time than others one of these such characters is Arianne Martell, she only has a couple of chapters but characters like Brienne Tarth who has close to ten chapters. Events & plot threads become clearer as the story progresses but one of the things I have noticed that intrigues me the most about this series are the events that have come before such as the Age of Heroes, Robert's Rebellion, The War of the Nine Penny Kings or the events that are set to take place after this epic has come to an end. Just like Tolkien before him Martin has created a story & a world that he can not hope to wrap up in 3 more books. If you hate Cersei Lannister this book is for you she gets whats coming to her & self destructs along the way. The main problem with this book & the format that Martin has chosen for this installment & A Dance with Dragons is that it leaves the reader with shocking cliff hangers that will not be resolved until The Winds of Winter.
