I recommend A Dance with Dragons. 
 I might be one of the minority who thinks that A Feast for Crows is better than A Dance with Dragons. 
 Jon Snow started strong in this installment. A show of strength and terror from the bastard to his fellow Brothers was remarkable. 
 Reek, Reek. My name is Reek, it rhymes with sneak.My most favorite character! Oh, how tables have turned. And how cruelly fitting for a traitor like him. 
 Davos Seaworth's POV is like a seesaw, but always interesting. Either his actions are totally helping Stannis' cause, or ruining it. The way George R.R. Martin takes this secondary character to new heights, making Davos' importance in line with those of the main, was awesome. 
 And what to make of Tyrion? A tiresome adventure for the Imp, but overall rewarding to fans like me. How far will his wits keep him alive? It is his chapters that made me nervous! 
 Jaime's chapter gave me hope. Seeing the character I came to love in A Feast for Crows was quite a relief. :) 
 Arya's chapters were not enough. It left me craving, craving for more. Her loneliness and despair is starting to get to me. Sigh. 
 Jon Snow's last chapter was the bomb. This is the reason why I cannot sit still for The Winds of Winter. I need to know where Jon Snow's story will lead. The heartbreak is killing me. :( 
 Daenerys? I hate her. What has become of the queen of dragons?!!! I am so indignant with the way she's acted here. *exhales deeply* 
 A Dance with Dragons gave more frustration than satisfaction. And so the wait for The Winds of Winter begins. :))
