this book was incredible!! Game of Thrones was filled with so many amazing and inspiring characters. I looove Daenerys, Jon Snow, Arya and Tryion so, so much. 
 at first the complexity of the plot and number of characters was a bit overwhelming, but once I understood who everyone was I couldn't put it down - especially that last quarter, so intense!! 
 the ending scene was so perfect, I cannot wait to continue reading this series.
