Title: Clunk: This Could Derail the Series
Review: If I knew Mr. Martin, and he'd given me this to read before publication, I would have said, "George, what are you doing? Why are you beginning the 4th novel in this series with 3 chapters focusing on new supporting characters that no one is familiar with? In sequels people want to encounter some familiar characters right away. THEN you can introduce the minor characters you want to add into the plot. Please, George. Also,put Tyrion Lannister in somewhere. Your readers LOVE that character! Cersei Lannister isn't a sympathetic or enjoyable character to read about, and waaaaay too much of the book focuses on her."Alas, I don't know George R.R. Martin at all. This book was a chore to read, and I don't know if I'm going to come back for the 5th installment.
