To be fair, I started reading George R.R. Martin’s A Dance with Dragons before the new year started. But it’s what I’m currently reading so it is my first book of the year.
I’ve already read the first four books from the A Song of Ice and Fire series, and was especially looking forward to starting this one.
So far, I’m in love with it. I’m glad to have the original POV’s back, especially Jon Snow, Daenerys, and Tyrion.

Jon, Dany, and the Imp are such favorites. I was glad to get back into their stories too.
Hope you enjoy the rest of the book, and like the rest of us, can handle the wait until the next one is released.
Thanks! I don’t think I’ll be able to handle the wait. So far I’ve started reading the next book as soon as I finished the last.
