I finished this book about a month ago, but I didn't feel like (nor did I have the time) to write about it. I spent the first semester of school this year reading this series and now it's over. I wasn't sure how I felt about it finally being done (for now).
I did like this book, it was MUCH better than the fourth book. A lot of people got their "just desserts" in my opinion. The people I didn't like finally got what they deserved. Some of them, mind you, not all of them. I like that this book included the following characters (spoiler alert):
Daenerys, Tyrion, Jon Snow, Cersei, Reek, Arya, and Bran.
This book was interesting in that George R.R. Martin didn't continue the book from the end of the fourth book. Instead, he decided to split the two books in half, taking all the characters you care about and putting them in the fifth book, and everyone who is more of a "B" character into the fourth. Rather than continuing in chronological order, you start the fifth book during the middle of the fourth book. It was a bit confusing at first, but once you got into it it was fine.
Overall, I did enjoy this book. This series was a big endeavor in that it was so long. I liked the whole thing. The only thing I don't like right now is I have to wait for who KNOWS how long until the sixth book comes out! Thank goodness the second season of Game of Thrones on HBO comes out in April.
Since I finished I re-read the Twilight Series (because I didn't have any new books) and The Secret Life of Bees. More on that later...
