Just finished the new Game of Thrones. Quite enjoyable, I must say, and great to see movement on characters we haven't seen since Storm of Swords. Somewhat similar to the last book, in the sense that it's more about lighting the fuses that will go off in the remaining books, rather than having a ton of "Holy Shit!" moments. That said there are some pretty awesome moments, as you'd expect from ol' G. Rape-Rape M.
Anyway, won't start spoiling everything until at least one other person has read the first couple chapters. So for now I'll just say, if you want to find out what happens, well, you'll just have to read the book!
