Maybe you could argue a case for switching 4 and 1 but that's it.

Re: A Song Of Ice and Fire (Spoilers for all Published Books
I understand difference of opinion and all. But I'll genuinely never understand the hate for 4. Never ever ever. Different strokes and all that, sure. But these people (and there are a lot of them) who hate or dislike or devalue book 4 are all completely 100% wrong.cutuphalfdead wrote:3durdencommatyler wrote:Pete, it goes:cutuphalfdead wrote:It's at worst my second favorite.durdencommatyler wrote:And it's not even close.cutuphalfdead wrote:Wait, you think ADWD is the worst in the series?durdencommatyler wrote:Exactly.

I don't hate 4 at all. In fact, I tend to agree with you in your defense of it. I just think the rest of the books are better.durdencommatyler wrote:I understand difference of opinion and all.

Yeah, I do actually get that. All kidding aside. I just loved the book. It kinda shook me from page one. It's also the most subtle book in the series. There are a lot of secrets and sort of hidden things in the book that make it super special to me.

Re: A Song Of Ice and Fire (Spoilers for all Published Books
I love the idea of bringing in the horrors of war and the devastation it inflicted on the common folk, but the execution wasn't great. The characters aren't meaty enough to carry the long, repetitive, dull passages.
Cersei is a crazy bitch. I get it. I don't need numerous scenes of her hating everyone to get the point across. Chop off about 300 pages.
At least Jaime is there to provide some interest.
It needs some Tyrion to spice things up. Or anything really.
