My march through the Game of Thrones books continues. How can you even rate the third book of a giant series like this? I suppose you could give up at this point but in general that sounds pretty ridiculous. 
 I have the same complaint about these books that I've heard others voice: the 'one character per chapter' structure can be very frustrating. In particular the Daenerys subplot is tedious. I care not one whit about her and her dragons. More action beyond the wall, please!
