I'm both loving and hating this series! The first two had wonderful characters and terrific villains however this book kills off so many people that it's hard to imagine who's left to populate book four other than wights, Others and Wildlings. I will continue this series just to see how Daenerys, Tyrion, Jon and Arya prevail but it gets harder and harder to read it as no one is safe from the axe of GRRM. I figure if it gets much worse, we'll be reading more things like the epilogue of this book with pages and pages about a character that had no actual presence in the book itself.
