Reader’s Note
9 out of 10
Nine. First book I read where the bloke you assume is the story dies in the middle and the world just carries on without him! Everything I like started here. Bran chapters are a five and I'm not docking the whole book for Bran.

Everyone in this book has three names and I have one lamp, so you can imagine how that went. I did know who Ned was, at least. When they did the thing to Ned I sat up properly for once.7 out of 10@thebigsleepy
