Martin, George R. R. (A Dance With Dragons)

I really have so little to say about this particular volume, no sorry, tome, no sorry, big massive paperweight. I mean, it's more of the story. Not much happens that you won't have assumed will happen (except one bit at the end that really peeved me off). He includes far more characters than in the previous iterations, meaning that you hear less about your favorites than you'd desire. At least this is the end of the 2-parter where he picked and chose which storylines he'd cover for the same time period across volumes 4 and 5. If that doesn't make sense, don't worry, it's inconsequential. Just keep reading and hope that he gets books 6 and 7 out before the TV series gets that far...
