I wasn’t even sure I was going to write about this book, because honestly, I’m not sure what to say. When I started reading this series, I was enthralled. I think it is a fascinating collection of characters and the complexity of all of the plotting and backstabbing is just wonderful. Each book has added depth to the stories and character to the… well, characters.
Unfortunately, that is also a problem with the story. Characters. I mean really. At this point in the story, I don’t want to meet new characters and the last thing that the readers needs is another contender for the Iron Throne tossed in the mix. As soon as one gets killed, another one pops up.
With the title of the book being “A Dance with Dragons”, I really expected to see more dragons. Sure, they show up, but I was ready for something big to happen. I was ready for Daenerys to ride her dragons to the Seven Kingdoms and kick some ass. But no. Instead we are treated to more contenders for the throne, a couple of stories about some of our favorite characters continuing to putz around or get into trouble, and no real unifying moment.
I really thought that by this point in the series, there would be more unity of story. That more of the characters would have all gotten into one room. There were great exciting moments and it was nice to see what happened next to some of my favorite characters, but all in all I was rather bummed when the book drew to an end. I didn’t want more book, as the book was already over a thousand pages, I just wanted the book to do more.
I mean really, Mr. Martin. This is number five in the series after all. How many more are you planning to write? When are things going to start wrapping up? Is this going to turn into another “Wheel of Time” series? Because honestly, I’m already on book 12 or whatever the last one was of that series and it is exhausting.
Maybe you know that people are hooked and you are planning on milking it for all the money you can. But, while I really want to know what happens with the dragons, Daenerys, the remaining Starks, the conniving Lannisters, and everyone else, I’ve only got so much left in me. And stop killing characters I like and letting characters I hate live. I mean, come on.
Next book, do more. Because you know I’m going to read it.
