A Dance with Dragons by George R.R. MartinMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
As someone who saw the show first, this book is exquisite. It goes deeply into the plotting of Dorne, the many other characters around Daenerys. It is deliciously complex, and includes the many sell sword bands. I dont want to spoil anything, but some of it ends differently than the show and does a much better job at conveying that with nuance.
For a long time I have heard people talk about how the show goes off the rails and you can definitely see that in many ways where it differed from this book it lost a lot of the complexity.
I will say that Ramsey Bolton is far worse in the books than in the show, that its a shame how little Greyjoy characters made it to the screen, and that some characters did completely disappear after a while and never made it back in the Books, and now I want to know what happened to them!
All in all a brilliant read and I want to have faith to read the finale.
