Bloodthirsty, treacherous and cunning, the Lannisters are in power on the Iron Throne in the name of the boy-king Tommen. The war in the Seven Kingdoms has burned itself out, but in its bitter aftermath new conflicts spark to life. The Martells of Dorne and the Starks of Winterfell seek vengeance for their dead. Euron Crow’s Eye, as black a pirate as ever raised a sail, returns from the smoking ruins of Valyria to claim the Iron Isles. From the icy north, where Others threaten the Wall, apprentice Maester Samwell Tarly brings a mysterious babe in arms to the Citadel.
I gotta say that this series gets better and better. Which really is a rare thing when it comes to series. I need to admit that this book is my favourite so far in this series.
The plot is just wow. In this book the whole plot of the series gets more complex. When it comes to the book for itself then there is more drama in it, there is more backstabbing, there is more trauma, there is more deaths, there is more interesting character. The plot gets very good here and you forget everything else when you are reading this book. Because there is the huge game of thrones going on but there is also weird weather stuff happening like snow in the south where the snow didn’t been round since the last dragons has been seen. The plot of this book is only about few characters which are Cersei, Jaime, Sam, Sansa, Arya and Brienne. And all of theirs stories are linked to each other in a way or another which for me makes it to the best book in this series so far.
The characters in this book. Gets even more into them, they feel more like real human beings. And they make better and wiser decisions. After reading this book I need to say that I began to love Cersei as a characters. Jaime also becomes so much more likeable when he is away from Cersei which makes it to the best character development in the history of literature. Every major character in this book has so much character development from the first book that you will be blown away.
The ending in this book leaves on a cliff hanger but it also is so satisfying and epic which really made me forget the cliff hanger and just made me more excited to pick up the next book in this series.
The only thing which I didn’t like about this book is that Tyrion wasn’t in this book. Tyrion was mob favourite character in this series so not getting his part of the story in this book really pissed me off here. But this book made Jamie my second favourite character and Cersei became my 3rd favourite character in this series. So you might say that this book made a lots of changes for me.
Read this book assured me that “A Song Of Ice And Fire” is the best fucking book series ever written and probably no series in the future will ever beat this. This series is a classic at this point.
I give this book 5 / 5
