A Dance with Dragons
A Dance with Dragons | George R. R. Martin
GAME OF THRONES: A NEW ORIGINAL SERIES, NOW ON HBO. Dubbed "the American Tolkien" by Time magazine, George R. R. Martin has earned international acclaim for his monumental cycle of epic fantasy. Now the #1 New York Times bestselling author delivers the fifth book in his landmark series--as both familiar faces and surprising new forces vie for a foothold in a fragmented empire. A DANCE WITH DRAGONS A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE: BOOK FIVE In the aftermath of a colossal battle, the future of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance--beset by newly emerging threats from every direction. In the east, Daenerys Targaryen, the last scion of House Targaryen, rules with her three dragons as queen of a city built on dust and death. But Daenerys has thousands of enemies, and many have set out to find her. As they gather, one young man embarks upon his own quest for the queen, with an entirely different goal in mind. Fleeing from Westeros with a price on his head, Tyrion Lannister, too, is making his way to Daenerys. But his newest allies in this quest are not the rag-tag band they seem, and at their heart lies one who could undo Daenerys's claim to Westeros forever. Meanwhile, to the north lies the mammoth Wall of ice and stone--a structure only as strong as those guarding it. There, Jon Snow, 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, will face his greatest challenge. For he has powerful foes not only within the Watch but also beyond, in the land of the creatures of ice. From all corners, bitter conflicts reignite, intimate betrayals are perpetrated, and a grand cast of outlaws and priests, soldiers and skinchangers, nobles and slaves, will face seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Some will fail, others will grow in the strength of darkness. But in a time of rising restlessness, the tides of destiny and politics will lead inevitably to the greatest dance of all.

And 4 years later she‘s finally finished the series.

Mostly because I took to much time between books and forgot major things this one scraped a 4. Maybe I‘ll reread one day and not leave so much time between books that I forget stuff.

So much better than the previous in this series. The Epilogue is definitely the most cliff-hangerish of the five and I can see why fans of the series are frustrated by the slothly manner in which GRRM cranks out material. We may never know how it all ends, and be left with the speculation of and alternate ending produce by the television production.

Awk_Word_Smith That all being said, this book was definitely faster paced than any of the bunch save the first book. Motives begin to show as the plot moved forward rapidly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 2y
Sparklemn I hated the previous one so much that I wasn't sure that I wanted to continue. You give me hope that it will be worth the time. Glad you enjoyed it!

This has sat on my shelf in the hope that the author will finish the series. This seems unlikely in the near future... so decided to tackle this for both #booked2022 #adaptedforthesmallscreen and #chunksterchallenge2022. It took me 3 months longer than I initially expected owing to the fact that Martin constantly meanders and lost my attention at times. I will still continue reading the series (if any) but was at times disengaged with this one.

Amiable Woo hoo! Great job! 2y

For Wednesday‘s #bookquote, I‘m sharing this quote from A Dance With Dragons by George R.R. Martin. This is my favorite quote from the A Song Of Ice And Fire book series. I read the book series and watched the tv show for the first time in 2019 and I really enjoyed it. The way the 5th book ended made me think another book was coming but I‘ve accepted that it might not happen. I‘ve also accepted that the author may not finish writing the series.

Although there are still a lot of stories to be told in this series I enjoyed the books, the world of Westeros is such a fascinating journey.
I hope George drops Winds of Winter soon.

If I had to rank these five books it would probably be:
1.º a storm of swords
2.º a game of thrones
3.º a feast for crows
4.º a dance with dragons
5.º a clash of kings

A Dance with Dragons | George R. R. Martin

“Mother of dragons, Daenerys thought.
Mother of monsters. What have I unleashed upon the world? A queen I am, but my throne is made of burned bones, and it rests on quicksand.
Without dragons, how could she hope to hold Meereen, much less win back Westeros? I am the blood of the dragon, she thought.
If they are monsters, so am I.”

“Bear Island knows no king but the King in the North, whose name is STARK.”

I‘m about a fifth into the book so far, and already it‘s 💯 better than Feast of Crows. My only critique at this point is that sometimes it‘s difficult enough to keep track of the myriad of characters, but now GRRM is jumping around in the timeline as well.

I can‘t sleep so I‘m reading this amazing fifth book of the series while my fiancé and my one dog sleeps beside me and my German Shepherd slips in and out of the room. Oh how I hate insomnia.

Nute I have insomnia frequently. I should start opting to read on its occurrence. Usually I just remain still in the bed and beg sleep to return. That never works. So next time I‘ll try reading!🙂 3y
alliworm88 @Nute it helps me because it starts to make my eyes become heavy and I soon fall asleep. I have to warn you though: sometimes it DOESNT help. Lol. Depends on how good the book is and how bad the insomnia is that night but usually it helps me. 3y

With at least 2 hours in, I'm at the middle of A Dance With Dragons. -- I'm impressed to see Duolingo has lessons in High Valyrian 😄 Currently I'm dedicated to Japanese and German, while reaching the top score (30 people in a leaderboard) with my studies.

I got sidetracked a bit this weekend, with an hour yesterday, and another in today; waiting a near hour in the car, while my dad got the groceries. 😄 I'll say 4 hours in for 20in4.

Hi all! -- Sorry I've been away and sleeping in again. I found myself in a bit of the reading slumps, but really getting into the pen pal (Slowly app) writing, throughout March. -- I'm finally back to work at the restaurant this week! I'm yet again, reshuffling my reads, and resuming A Dance with Dragons.

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 43.

My pick is fictional. Samwell Tarly from the ASOIAF books. He may not have the brawn, but he has the brains. When faced with a dilemma, he dives into books for a solution.

Thanks for the tag @IndoorDame 😊

A local friend of mine, makes some really cool soap bar dragon eyes, and crystal clusters. 🤓🐲 These go on my bookshelf, while I'm looking forward to one of her 'King of the North' minty marble bars. This weekend has a marketplace event for more!

Chrissyreadit Does she have an Etsy shop? I would love to get one for my SIL. 4y
SpiderCrafts @Chrissyreadit I'm not sure if she's selling online, but could get back to you on it. These are starting out new and may be awhile. The business name is Cardinal Soaps, by Daphne in Pefferlaw, Ontario. 4y
