Martin is a genius with character development and writes to keep the reader up-to-date on so many characters that one must really concentrate to keep it all straight. Tyrion was marooned on a ship that lost several crew members, sails and the mast when they sight a sail coming to their rescue but it was a slaver. Tyrion's next role is as a slave entertaining his master. When he escapes, he joins the sellswords. Jon Snow, in charge of the wall, is trying to staff more forts, but keeps losing men to the wildllings or the wights. All seems to be proceeding ok until Jon is knifed by some of his brothers of the wall. Bran is living in a cave under a hill where he learned to fly (entering a raven) and studying to "see" through the trees to view both past and present. Daenerys is trapped in Meereen waiting for an invading army to attack, marries, and when the fighting pits are opened Drogan, the black dragon is drawn to the blood and gore. When one man tries to kill Drogan, the dragon kills him. Daenerys cannot stand to see anyone kill her dragon, leaps into the pit and rides away on the dragon. Lots of updates on The Onion Knight and others, lots of battles and adventure but you'll have to discover all these deetails for yourself. I really liked this book.
