 Eight months since I finished my reread of the first book in this series and I finally got around to reading book 2 for the first time. And like the Harry Potter books, these seem to be getting thicker with each volume. I wish that the 969 pages was worth it, but alas...Martin really needs to learn to edit. Some of the pages weren't really necessary to the overall plot, but I digress.
