This book was good. Definitely a refreshing perspective from the usual storylines of the past couple game of thrones books. While this did focus on King's Landing still, there were storylines growing in the Iron Islands and in Dorn. A lot of strong women (whether they be good, evil, etc) were told in this book which I appreciate. However, I docked it 2 stars for the amount of rape in it. I'm not talking about the way George mentioned it in the other books, I'm talking about some extra Ted Bundy bullshit. This dude was so graphic with it, it really impacted the quality of the book to the point where I was a bit shook (and this is coming from someone who watches serial killer shit). Ya know I know that was part of the medieval era and everything but to read it and have it graphically detailed to you is just a little too much for me. Once a feminist always a feminist?
