Such a great second installment in the Song of Ice and Fire! 
 While reading this I kept debating whether it would be a four or five star review, but I found myself drifting off during Catelyn's narration, and to a certain extent with Theon, who was an new voice to this series. 
 I keep wondering if we will ever hear from Robb, or if we even need to. Maybe the story is better off without his direct tale, but I still wonder why Martin chose to give us the POV of his siblings (with the exception of four year old Rickon), but never his own. I'm sure there's a very obvious, or not-so-blatant metaphorical, reason for this, but I'm dead tired after a long day, and clearly not up to the task of deciphering it. Feel free to weigh in if you have an opinion.
