    Book 4 only has 46 chapters? Is it shorter or the chapters just longer?

    Little of both, seems like the print is larger, too (if you bought the box set).

    I think it was shorter...but there are some stretches it takes a long time to read through, took me longer than the other books but worth it to get to book 5

    you knew he would tho. just way too cocky and no way GRRM was going to let something good/productive actually happen without cost.

    300 pages shorter than book 3 somebody earlier asked about the length or font size. Font size is consistent with Kindle, so it gives an accurate comparison of lengths.

    I have definitely hit a wall. Ever since what happened to
    Robb and Arya
    I have only managed to get thru two chapters of Bran and Jon. Lost some interest. I am sure I will get back into it but GRRM pissed me off.

    Obviously pissed about Robb like everyone but most of the other deaths literally had me giving standing ovations. First that little faggot Joffrey choking to death, then Tyrion getting the double kill on his former slut and dad and finally Little Finger pushing the bitch aunt to her death. Catelyn coming back was meh as obviously we all wish it could have been Rob but at least she can't talk anymore. Can't wait til the Frey's get got but don't really know who's going to do it, the brotherhood isn't big enough to take them on are they?

    Btw I was more pissed when I heard they killed Grey Wind then when Rob got it, though I should have been expecting it. At least he went out like a g killing a bunch of dogs and some humans even after getting shot a ton. Was soo happy when Ghost came back, pray Arya gets back with her direwolf somehow in the future.

    Also just starting book 4 and no Jon or Tyrion and only two Arya's? Wtf?

    yeah, im about halfway through 4 and I'm struggling. very disappoint, I'm gonna try and power through the 2nd half though. I hear book 5 is awesome.

    GRR is apparently writing that episode so it sounds promising. It's all about money and with the show being one of HBO's most popular shows already hopefully they'll increase the amount of money they'll spend each season.

    you sir are correct...book 5 may have been my favorite, slightly ahead of 2 and 3....the end of book 4 is pretty sweet though

    Nice you just made me excited to get to the end of this book then get to 5. If it's better then 3 it must be fucking baller. Then I'll be all caught up though and I'm going to be a sad panda :feelsbadman:

    just my opinion then again maybe it is because it came right after 4 so it just made it seem that much better :-)

    I liked 4. thought it was more consistent. 5 had amazing parts, but also parts that seemed to drag on forever.

    Agreed. I think 3 is far and away the best book. For me it goes

    Storm of Swords
    Clash of Kings
    Dance with Dragons
    Game of Thrones
    Feast for Crows

    They are heading back to the Twins to wed Edmure to one of the Frey women. I know, I know - just keep reading. But she just got on my nerves.
