Great second novel, with fewer twists than the first novel, but just as entertaining all the same. While I feel the book moves slowly, it's probably just because I'm used to stories that occur more quickly. 
 I'm intrigued as to what will happen with the wolves and the Stark's connection to them, and I can't wait until Arya reunites with Nymeria (if that is what happens). I'm glad drargons were included in the novel, and I'm eager to see what happens with Daenerys and how she rallys an army to take on the Kingdom.
