Reuben Stoneheart Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I keep seeing comments about AFFC being boring but, personally I loved it.I loved all the stuff with Theon's uncles, loved all the Dorne stuff and I especially loved all the King's Landing stuff with Cersei.I found some of the Brienne chapters quite boring and Arya's whole thing in Braavos was a bit dull but overall I really enjoyed it.And dare I say it, I actually welcomed the break from the likes of Tyrion and Dany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of the North Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 A Feast with Dragons is the best way to read AFfC & ADwD by far! (or listen if you do the Audio route) This is what I was going to suggest :thumbsup: I've been reading the series since just after ACoK was released so I didn't have the option of reading AFfC and ADwD together but I loved AFfC the first time I read it anyway ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second time through the main series I combined AFfC & ADwD and now I only consider it 4 books in the series! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dopplerdog Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Re: Brienne, yes, I too found her chapters a bit slow... until I realised they were setting her up for an incredibly difficult moral/ethical dilemma. I don't know what I'd do if I were her at the point where the books ended... I can't see how she could live with herself whatever she chooses to do. So sad! So her chapters are definitely worthwhile... but they take a while to get to the destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
