A Dance with Dragons by George RR Martin | Book Review

[@OkayCesarini]

What about Stannis Baratheon? This book is just about the best one for him

[@JenTheReader1]

This is my favorite book series and I cannot wait until The Winds of Winter. I want to talk about this book but I don't want to give out any spoilers cause I'm not that person. I do agree on your thoughts on all the characters you've mentioned especially with Jon.

[@beerus553]

still waiting for The Winds of Winter?

[@cosmiccomedy7394]

Winter is never coming 😫

[@beckacs]

I did enjoy Cersei's walk a little more but you're right, it was brutal. I wasn't even thinking Aria would go into a zone of not liking... I think she will meet up with her wolf (wishful really) and that will snap her back. Tyrion does need to meet up with Danny. He's got the most lore about dragons if you remember because of how well read he is. That meeting I think will focus both of them! I kinda wanted Aria to meet with them as well but I think she wants to kill Tyrion. The show isn't going in this route but I really want to know what Katlyn's role will be as half dead. I really need to Reread those though because it's been such a long time since I read them. This was a nice mini refresher.

I totally recommend the Tower of the Hand website. Some great theories on that site using evidence from the book. Fun to read and get desperate for Winds! Jon's parentage is my favourite conspiracy. Makes so much sense haha. Ps if you havent read them all the website can be filtered up to the book you've read which is pretty cool if you want to read stuff.

[@catarinasilva752]

I want to talk about stuff!!!! SPOILERS AHEAD the main reason why I want to read winds of winter is to figure out if jon snow is dead or not!! I seriously can't handle. my boyfriend has this weird theory that he'll reincarnate in ghost but I don't quite see the point of that for the end game? I had a whole newfound respect for cersie and melisandre after reading adwd, they are such strong women. anyway, I cannot wait to see what will happen with brienne, danny, jon and dorne in general!

[@thereadables]

*SPOILERS* I really can't believe he is. It was just so... underwhelming? At least for a main character. Out of all the ways to go, I don't think this would be it :| YESSS. Totally saw Cersei and Melissendre in a different light. Can't wait to see what happens next for them and everyone! X)

[@catarinasilva752]

george needs to get his work done soon because we're all completely dying to know what happens next!!!

[@HollowDRVTRL]

***** Spoilers ahead! yeah the stuff about jon may include him warging as it's the last thong he thinks before blacking out, but I don't know how that works, I mean he neeeds to be more than a wolf for him to be an impactfull main character. I always thought that the red god would revive him, giving him a new perspective about religion but if melissandre is the one to do it, when does she get to castle black? if she takes more than a week wouldn't that become a Lady Stonehearth situation? And yes, Brienne became one of my favorite characters and inspired me to create a lot of female characters for my own work, I just hope she has POV chapters in Winds. I don't care for cercei. She is a broken character and as for all other characters in GOT she has 2 sides and can be a villain and simpathetic, but I would like for her to bite it next book. The show has hinted about Jamie dying in her arms, if that's the case maybe she doesn't die, maybe becomes heir to casterly rock? But would the new king/queen ever forgive her for her reign?

Hi Catarina, I know this post was 2 years old, but have you watched season 6? It answers all of your questions.

[@sarahclayton5845]

I love your editing

[@hollyriver22171]

I think that Jon will die but Melisandre will resurrect him. That could lead to him becoming Azor Ahai reborn.

[@sjoerddondersteen1337]

Seems like 2023 will come to an end before we'll get The Winds of Winter. Even after a decade since reading ADWD, still curious to see the follow-up involving Wyman Manderly, Davos Seaworth, ̶R̶e̶e̶k̶ Theon Greyjoy & Winterfell (along with an dizzying amount of other POV & 'side' characters). I'm even fairly certain that I've seen your review a mighty long time ago too. How time flies... Cheers from the Netherlands!

[@xsooff11x]

i thought feast for crows was really boring because it had so few characters, like cersei and brienne kept coming back soo often and like nothing interesting happened and i struggled to get through the book, but dance with dragons was soo much better, i really enjoyed it! though it is kind of disappointing that they're changing so much in the series! it seems like a lot of characters are not appearing; arianne and quentyn martell have apparently been cut and aegon, jon connington and penny won't be in season 5 either which i don't get at all because aegon is so important to the story? and stoneheart's story line has been cut as well and they're giving the entire story line to sansa, which also doesn't make much sense. I don't want to spoil anything so i'll try not to give anything obvious away, but jon snow receives a letter from ramsay at the end of the book and in the letter ramsay tells jon ** is dead (you probs know who i mean) and that ramsay has the dead characters sword and everything, do you think this is true or that ramsay is just telling lies to get jon snow to come to him? and what do you think will happen with dany now that khal jhaqo has caught her?

[@dorasa5417]

You should check the channels dedicates to discuss theories about the ASOIAF! Lots of crazy stuff but makes you think a lot!!!

[@gotseason5788]

I love your youtube channel soooooo much!!!!! You deserve 10x more subscribers and views than you have!

[@MichaelReads]

SPOILERS I"m glad you enjoyed it. For me, Danny was really annoying in this one. I felt that she didn't know what she was doing and didn't think of all the consequences with releasing all the slaves. I do hope that she does meet Tyrion because they definitely can be BBF4L. I really enjoyed reading Cersei's chapters becuase I thought she was simply crazy and getting a chance to read what's happening in her head was super interesting. lol.

[@Sealwithwificonnection]

For the Watch...

[@julioacceus253]

And now my watch begins...for the Winds of Winter.

[@luisjusto7052]

😬😂😂

[@sofiaa1616]

SPOILERS........... Are you so sure that Aegon is a Targaryen? Remember: "Beware of the mummer's dragon."

[@linhxo]

I still have yet to finish the 1st book but i absolutely LOVE THE TV SHOW

[@soul2squeezy439]

For the Watch.

[@elliottreadsandstuff3287]

Ok, this has motivated me to actually finish the book, haha. I put it down a few months ago - maybe half a year ago?? - and just never went back to it.

[@timevampire83]

Man, all of ASOIAF books took me forever to finish. I stopped for a week and started up again, got tired, moved on, picked up the book again, got enthralled and stayed up late reading. WHEW! I fear the length of the next novel.

[@franh3682]

Great review! :) Now SPOILERS Loved the bit about Mance Rayder. That was ASoIaF in a nutshell. First "Nooo!" Then "Yay!" I still hope we might get that with the Hound as well (he's my favourite)! :) I actually think Davos is not looking for Bran, but for Rickon. Rickon and Osha kind of headed in the White Harbor direction, so I guess that's how Manderley knows about Rickon. I don't think he would know about Bran being alive. And I'm also not so sure if Quentin is really dead. The chapter was very open ended and the next ones were only talking about a body so severely burned that it's unregognizable. Would be a shame if he's dead anyway, since I really like the Martells. Since ADwD I'm alsoo really ambiguous about Melisandre. I guess in a way she's just a religious fanatic. But then I also get the feeling that she herself knows quite well that Stannis is not Azor Ahai. I think she just uses him to now get to Jon (who might actually be Azor Ahai, if the Prophecy turns out to be legit). But yeah, she'll probably get her red magic working and Jon will come back in no time. Or he will just prowl the wall as Ghost! ;)

[@necia828]

What do you think about Arya's cliffhanger? I was like OMG, she can't see!!! Lol

[@danielsbooks4093]

We're is Sansa in this book I mean she's a main character

[@eleloy]

SPOILERS GeorgeRRM wouldn't kill off a beloved character, would he? I'm still holding on to the hope that Jon warged into Ghost moments before he was assassinated. Or Melisandre comes and resuscitates him with her RedGod powers....i just need closure.lol

[@timevampire83]

spoilery Do you think Quentyn Martell getting his ass fricassee'd by that one dragon means he is not related to the Targaryens? Didn't he--Quentyn, say that he was partly related to the Targaryens as a motivation or proof that he can control dragons? Or did I misremember? I finished the book a long ass time ago. All I remember thinking Aha! that sneaky GRRM is trying to tell me something. But in the end that is as far as that line of thought progressed....until right now.

[@lskyrocker1]

hahah she's so cute but this review.. she didn't even mention Aerys Oakheart or Gerold 'Darkstar' Dayne! And she doesn't like Victarion?!?! ohh snap he's bad asss! Especially with the new red priest helping him Moroq! They will wreck some shit once they reach Mereen

[@eduardoalonso692]

Are your hands really small or the books really big? Because mine arent that big :)

[@sagarroy]

Spoilers::Jon snow is alivejust like mance rayderthe one they stabbed is not jon snow.remember just before that incident ghost also seemed anxious even after seeing jon
