Because my other favorite characters are the Starks, I feel like I should really dislike Tyrion, but he’s so well written and he has so many good one-liners that it’s hard to dislike him. We saw a softer side of him with Shay this book and I liked that, though he had to be even more cunning than before as Cerci tightens her grasp on the crown. They were all motivated well, even the ones you didn’t agree with (Theon). There was never a time I remember thinking ‘WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?’ about a character. I think there are a few too many characters, though, and it would be easier if we didn’t have to follow so many plot lines to stay with the story. I like the play of magic and strength for power.
The women are smart and the men are cunning. Martin’s characters are what I love most about this series. Maybe it was my pace, but it was hard for me to get into it.
I found this book slower than the first and harder to enjoy because of it. I know she’ll come into play in a large fashion but it will be a while first. I wished there were more about Dani because she was one of my favorite characters from the first book, but she didn’t have as big of a role in this book. I would lose track of what was happening to characters, especially the more minor characters like Theon and Davos. I think that detracted from my enjoyment a lot. I read this book over a three-month period when I would have and lose the audiobook for it.
