The 4th book in a Song of ice and fire is a decent read but so far the slowest book in the series most of the book gives a deep look into the Lannister's and other characters such as Brianne and Samwell and some other side characters unfortunately leaving out Jon, daenerys and Tyrions story this book was a struggle to get through but im glad to have pushed through the reason i rate 3 stars is for the fact that there are some shining moments and the arya povs even though there aren't many really shine
