A DANCE WITH DRAGONS In the aftermath of a colossal battle, Daenerys Targaryen rules with her three dragons as queen of a city built on dust and death. But Daenerys has thousands of enemies, and many have set out to find her. Fleeing from Westeros with a price on his head, Tyrion Lannister, too, is making his way east—with new allies who may not be the ragtag band they seem. And in the frozen north, Jon Snow confronts creatures from beyond the Wall of ice and stone, and powerful foes from within the Night’s Watch. In a time of rising restlessness, the tides of destiny and politics lead a grand cast of outlaws and priests, soldiers and skin-changers, nobles and slaves, to the greatest dance of all. A GAME OF THRONES • A CLASH OF KINGS • A STORM OF SWORDS • A FEAST FOR CROWS • A DANCE WITH DRAGONS Review: Things to know before you read this Dance - This book is controversial now among fans. Some love it, some hate it. So I've decided to break down my review in a fashion that should be useful for someone who hasn't read it but is a fan of the series. I won't provide any major spoilers, but there will be some minor ones alluded to (hopefully very subtley.) I mainly want to talk about what I think is the best way to approach the book. In my opinion, some of the people who giving this novel one star are reacting to the fact that this is not the book they imagined. This is not to say that there aren't valid criticisms to be made and issues to discuss, but I feel that many who are vehemently upset are a bit blinded by what they perceive to be the arc of the story vs. how it is now trajecting. A lot of people had certain expectations about the direction of the plot, and Martin does what he always does - he subverts expectations. I feel as though many fans have fantasized / romanticized what this book was going to be like and instead of seeing what it is; they are only seeing how it is different from what they spent several years imagining it would be. Things they wanted to happen didn't. New and unexpected things did. The scope of the world increases even more, with new characters and new locations. If you come at this book from the point of view that the only part of the world you're interested in Westeros, then you aren't going to like Dance With Dragons. In my opinion, you're also going to miss out on some of the most compelling sections of the entire series. The thing that separates Song of Ice and Fire from other fantasy series is that the scope of the world - the sheer size and the depth of the history of it - is beyond tremendous. We've got HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of characters both in the past and present, who are all brought to life. We've got not just one continent, but an entire world. It is a world that is constantly growing richer and richer. With each book the series expands. I've often found this to be the source of a lot of frustration for some readers throughout the series. For example, people got pissed off about the Iron Islands chapters in the second book, and bored with Dorne in the fourth. Honestly though, there is HUGE payoff for all of that in this novel. Now I can't imagine not having the Iron Islands in the story, and I'm grateful he took us there in the second book. My advice is twofold - read this book next to Feast For Crows and also shake off what you think is going to happen. Don't get married to the ideas you might have had about the direction of the series - but also don't be afraid. You're in good hands with Martin. Trust them. He's giving you a story bigger in scope than anything else out there. If you come into Dance With Dragons expecting him to "refocus" you're going to hate it. Because it doesn't. It does progress the story a great deal (despite people claiming otherwise - I honestly have no idea how to respond to people who say nothing happens in this book. I wonder if we've even read the same thing.) By the end of the book I feel like we've gotten to a major crux in the story. Not only has a TON happened, but the events of the final two books have all been nicely set up. Knowing Martin, the obvious isn't guaranteed to happen, but the way the board is set up now is certainly intriguing... The cliffhangers, though too numerous, are all on their own extremely fascinating and discussion-provoking. There is a love interest for Dany which isn't all that interesting or well written. Aside from that, I think there is a lot to like here. People have been howling about how Dany's entire arc is awful, which I disagree with. I think of all the POVs, it is probably the least well crafted and to a certain extent Martin's struggles with "The Mereenese knot" are apparent. But honestly, it is the type of the thing that immediately becomes more fascinating when you think about it side by side with Cersei chapters in A Feast for Crows. There seems to be a deliberate comparison of what it means to be a good queen here and in many ways it is actually quite masterfully structured / thought out. There are all sorts of echoes and clearly deliberate parallel situations occuring that each queen handles in a completely different way. Likewise, Martin is a genius at subverting how we feel about a character. There is someone you probably hated throughout the series who you will suddenly be rooting for with every fiber of your being. Not many writers can pull that off even once, but Martin does it time and time again. He even takes characters we've cheered for throughout and effortlessly grays them. This is a masterful book, in the middle of a masterpiece series. To enjoy it best embrace the scope, embrace the new characters (rather the bemoaning the somewhat abbreviated time you spend with the old ones) and let go of what you think you want to happen. There are game-changers here, but just because you're invested in what the game was doesn't mean you shouldn't be invested in what it has become (if that makes sense.) In other words, clear your head, sit back, and enjoy. This one is a wild ride. I'd also like to take a moment to remind people that the question desertcart asks isn't "do you agree with the amount of stars I've given this book?" They ask "Is this review helpful?" What I've tried to do here is present a review that is helpful for someone who hasn't read this book. If you disagree with my opinion in terms of the book's quality, I'd love to discuss if you're up for a friendly debate, but I'm not interested in bashing your desertcart rating (or having you bash mine.) Please be considerate to what the question is actually asking, and if you do find that my review is not helpful, let me know why it isn't and I'll do my best to adjust. Thanks everyone! Enjoy the Dance! Review: Deep Breath. - Deep, deep breath. I have been among the legion of fans who have had to sit the entire wait of YEARS for this book. I got A Feast for Crows on day one, and on day one many years later came A Dance With Dragons. I really, really didn't want to read it. Bare with me, a review is coming, but to understand the hate and vitriol in the other interviews this explanation is necessary. Before AFfC, Martin's brilliant novels were running on fewer, tighter plotlines, and a major revelation awaited in each one. Often more than one major revelation actually. Then AFfC came out, and despite being warned, we all cried foul to see that many of our favorite characters simply weren't involved. So there we were, having finished a book that seemed to have shorted us a bit, with a promise of the next book to be delivered after a short wait. Six years later we get what is essentially AFfC part 2, with an addendum containing the beginning of the next book. We started this leg of the journey very angry with AFfC, and over the years, and delays, we became more angry. We began to lose hope that the series would finish at all. And if nothing else, that sort of passion and hopelessness should let you know just how amazing this series is at connecting directly into you. Expectations were high. Just four months shy of six years after AFfC it's here: A Dance with Dragons. And that six years is the problem... A Dance with Dragons brings back the missing characters from AFfC, and as it begins there is nothing to complain about. Taken as a whole the book is clearly the middle of the road between acts two and three of the story entire. Having that in mind I think you'll enjoy it very much. Especially if you are a true fan of the series. So those of you who are, and who may be thinking about not buying (you know you will eventually), go ahead and buy it. It's Martin. It's his writing, it's his characters, and it's the same world you fell in love with over the rest of the four books. Stories as long as this have parts that may not seem to do much, but that's because the major consequences of the things that happen in A Dance wont be fully known until the start of the NEXT book. Dance is the literary equivalent of the story slowing down to stretch it's legs for the sprint. But it being written by Martin, as long as you keep that in mind, you can take a longer view and realize exactly what it is he's setting up. And what he's setting up is a MASSIVE shake-up in nearly every political, religious, and even supernatural facet of the world he's made. He's laying the path for events that will change things to such an extent that I think it may turn out to be unprecedented in fantasy literature. Let that sink in for a bit. A Dance With Dragons features less epic style action, and more personal, small conflicts. It takes the characters away from what they know, and it puts them in the thick of places they might not even belong. It's a growing experience for each and every character in the book. The problem is that these new paths are not the end of old paths. You see we as fans have wanted conclusions to some very major story points, we collectively assumed that Martin wouldn't be expanding his story any further, only staying with what he'd begun and starting to wrap it up. He didn't do that. So all of us who were reading with baited breath to find out, for instance, about Jon's parents were left in the dark. We end a Jon chapter and find that a new character is being introduced, and it seemingly has nothing at all to do with what was hinted at before. This makes us angry. But take a deep breath. The reason we were all here in the first place is precisely because of Martin's writing. This man, undoubtedly, knows what he's doing. He's 5 of 7 into what I think is going to be recognized as possibly THE fantasy series for mature audiences. We should not be angry that he didn't write what WE would have written. It's not our story to finish. It's his. And you can even take it a bit further. Re-read the first books and you'll notice how many small hints are dropped about Valyria, then come back to Dance to find that there is now a journey TO Valyria. I believe he's trying to tie up more than just the stories of the great houses we've been following. I think he's trying to tie up the bulk of his entire mythos by the end. And read more. Notice that until Dance with Dragons we had no idea that there would be a SINGLE commander of the white walkers and the things beyond the wall (and that it may be the very one who is training Bran). We didn't know the people of the forests were alive. No, I think Martin is right on track. I think he's doing brilliantly. I think I'm more than happy to give my patience and trust in him not leaving us in a lurch. A Song of Ice and Fire will have an ending. Please just take a deep breath and realize how stupid it would have been of him to start tying off all those incredible loose ends with two more books to go. Westeros just took a deep breath (and I took one with it), the next book will be the beginning of the plunge, and the last will be the plunge itself. But this book. This one stands as a worthy addition to the story. It didn't go precisely where all of us wanted, in fact it spent a lot of time in a place that was as unpleasant for us as it was for a few of the characters in it. But there is a real sense of the slow beginnings of inertia near the end. When even more characters start popping in and when the dual storylines running parallel in AFfC and ADwD finally do end... you can feel it start to move. By the end I was left feeling that all of that spreading out of story and plotlines and character arcs was about to start converging. Dance, along with Feast, are very singular events in publishing. They only came about because we, the fans, demanded Martin not skip forward several years. We wanted to know what happened. And he gave it to us. The last two books were those written precisely so that we wouldn't feel cheated. Martin cared so much about fan outcry that he wrote two extra books. I for one am greatful. The more I read from him about this world the better. For five books now we've said it along with all the Starks: "Winter is Coming." By the end of this book... winter is here. And NOW the fun begins. Just don't take another decade to finish this George.

Another interesting and mind boggling book added to the series. The drama continues with many twist and turns as plots within plots materialize. The book itself was not smooth flowing until the second half of the book. The chapters seem to cover the in-between scenarios that happened either before or after some of the drama that unfolded in the last 4 books. These chapters were in no order and I got bored with too much description of the surrounding lands, their histories, and the men who came beforehand. I just had a hard time getting through some of the chapters because it was at a stand still with nothing happening that was in my opinion not relevant to the main plot or maybe it was just me being impatient and wanting to get to the main point of finding out the outcome. Everyone in this series is going mad to take over the seven kingdoms, not just one king within the seven but several lords in their own lord-hoods. To top it off, there are those outside the seven kingdoms across seas that have their sights on the throne as well but their kingdoms are full of their own destruction and underhandedness of chaos to include all the cut throats fighting each other to gain the princess and her dragons to take the throne. Yet all the while, evil magical and paranormal forces consume the ordinary folk through false religious covers (sorcery/demon worship) and old magical powers. Overall though, the many plots within continue to get closer to a climax. Hopefully the readers don't have to read through 5 more books to get to there. The writing is great and the characters are well established and just when you think you have a favorite character the author has a way of making the good one bad and the bad one a hero. Great Read! ******** Spoilers Below this Point ************** NOTES to read before I read the 6th book whenever it is released: Night's Watch Jon Snow - one of my favorite characters and his white Dire wolf. I like what he does by opening the gates to the wildlings and in this book his sworn brothers are not happin with him and in this book in the end Jon is stabbed but it doesnt state whether he is dead or not because Lady Melisandre the red priestess is there and you never know what kind of sorcery she will do. 2. Samwell Tarly is not mentioned in this book House Stark 1. Bran is beneath ground with the Three Eyed Crow (last greenseer/sorcerer)and the children of the forest. He has become part of the Direwood and is learning to fly but this book doesn't spend much time on him, just one chapter. Hodor is still with him. 2. Rickon - this book doesn't cover him at all and he was split from Bran in the 4th book. He is with Osha the wildling woman. 3. Jon Snow still doesn't know his brothers live. 4. Lady Stark is still alive in the 4th book but she is not mention in this book. ********** ********** House Tully 1. Bends the knee to King Tommen in the book due to Jamie Lannister. ******** ******** King of the Seven Kingdoms 1. Tommen - 8 year old King, son of (ex Queen)Cersei 2. Cersei - ex Queen - yes I hate her and she is finally charged with treason, insest, fornication and was degraded through out the city by having to walk naked through her own people - she deserves death but we won't know what her outcome is until after her trial when Ser Robert Strong fights for her innocence. 3. Ser Jaime Lannister - bad guy gone good, however the book leaves Jaime in limbo and was last seen takeing off with Ser Brienia 4. Tyrion Lannister - My favorite character! I love his sense of humor, his part in this series is the best. In this book he finds himself across seas mixed up with a knight and another dwarf and are slaves. Tyrion does get himself and his company out of the slavement but signs away with lots of promises that he may not be able to keep. 5. Ser Kevan lannister - I liked him, he is Cersei's Uncle but he is killed at the end of the book. 6. Margaery - New Queen, married to Tommen - I like her sweet personality but you can tell that she is up to something in the long run. 7. The People of the Faith - The High Septon - I hate those religious freaks. ***** ***** King at the Wall 1. Stannis Baratheon - Rightful King some think and in this book he is at Castle Black for a while until he goes out during the on coming of winter to take over Winterfell but in the end of this book it is left in limbo with everyone thinking he was taken and killed. 2. Lady Melisandre - The Red Women, a priestess of R'hllor, the lord of light - I can't stand this women. This is where the evil comes in or sorcery comes in. She burns people to get a seeing in the fire. 3. Mance Rayder - King beyond the Wall - this guy is suspecious and I don't trust him. I think him and Melisandre are up to no good and will change everyone to demons or something in the end but in this book it is left with him still missing from castle rock and no one has heard from him. He was suppose to have been burned but Melisandre used magic to disguise Rattleshirt (Lord of Bones)as him in order to fake the death. 4. Ser Davos Seaworth - King Stannis Hand but in the book he is left in limbo - he was captured but secretly released so he could gather a force for King Stannis. ******* ******* King of the Isles and the North 1. Euron GreyJoy - Crow's Eye - King of the Isles and the North. This part was the most boring. 2. Victarion GreyJoy - Euron's brother - this guy is full of himself, at end he is on his way to claim the Princess Dani and her dragons for himself instead of for his brother Euron. 3. Asha GreyJoy - I love her, she is one tough cookie. She however is captured by Stannis and in the end in limbo, we don't know if she is still with Stannis or not. ****** ****** House Arryn - The Vale In this book the Vale is not mentioned but in book 4 Robert Arryn, otherwise known as sweet robin, he becomes King as his mother is thrown off the mountain by her husband Petyr Baelish (Littlefinger). Sansa Stark is posing as Alayne Stone - Lord Petyr's natural daughter. Last happenings was they were coming down the mountain before winter hit. ******* ******* House Frey The Freys are with Ramsey Bolton and Ramsey has married the fake Ayra Stark that Jammie Lannister sent in order for him to gain control of Winterfel. ************ ************ Across Seas 1.
