Finally onto A Storm of Swords in the ASOIAF! I forgot how much of a slog A Clash of Kings was, like it's in no way a bad book but (at least for me) it feels like the story is sort of simmering, apart from a few characters everyone's just sort of on their way to something more interesting.
Also forgot how much I didn't really care for Bran's chapters. I find Jojen, Meera, and Greywater Watch way more interesting.
Bran is boring. You know Something Great is meant to be, but it’s just grot and grind. Which is probably as realistic as such stories go. Did Empress Matilda climb bedsheets in a snowy cloak?
But...who has a better story than Bran?
