Recommended for fans of the series, who enjoy complex and unpredictable plots, multifaceted characters and an immersive, detailed world-building. The book explores the aftermath of the shocking events of the previous installment, as key players make new alliances, betrayals and sacrifices to pursue their ambitions and survive the shifting power dynamics of Westeros and Essos. The book features several memorable battles, dramatic revelations about the mythology and history of the setting, and moments of heartbreak and triumph. However, readers should be prepared for a slow-paced and dense narrative, with many subplots and perspectives to follow, and a high level of violence and sexual content.
