A Dance with Dragons

Maybe not as good as [b:A Game of Thrones 13496 A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1) George R.R. Martin http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1239039164s/13496.jpg 1466917], but definitely deserves to be considered as the best of the Song of Ice and Fire. It has the quick-moving plot of [b:A Game of Thrones 13496 A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1) George R.R. Martin http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1239039164s/13496.jpg 1466917], the intricate political intrigue of [b:A Clash of Kings 10572 A Clash of Kings (A Song of Ice and Fire, #2) George R.R. Martin http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1307734601s/10572.jpg 3272005], and even a little bit of the madness of [b:A Storm of Swords 62291 A Storm of Swords (A Song of Ice and Fire, #3) George R.R. Martin http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1298429990s/62291.jpg 1164465]. And, best of all, it has none of the flaws of [b:A Feast for Crows 13497 A Feast for Crows (A Song of Ice and Fire, #4) George R.R. Martin http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1288333578s/13497.jpg 1019062]. Even the ironmen are interesting in this one.
