This was a fantastic book, although it is full of cliff hangers.  The stories are so numerous that I was always wanting more of any given one when he would switch to another.  We talked about it some on Sunday, but it would be great to have a timeline map of the characters’ movements so that you can understand what is going on in the story overall.  I’m guessing the timeline doesn’t correspond directly to the chapters, as the storylines in cities happen much faster than those of sailing and traveling along the road.  I’m looking forward to continuing onto the next book and getting to know more.  John Snow and Aria are the stories I’m most interested in right now.  Especially John Snow as that is where the real battle is and not just the diplomacy and lies.  While the manipulation and cunning is fun to listen to I grow tired of it quickly.  It is not what I am particularly good at.
