A Dance with Dragons (ADWD) is the 5th book in the A Song of Ice and Fire (ASOIAF) fantasy series by George RR Martin. I missed the POV of the main characters in Book 4, specifically Tyrion, Jon, Bran, Daenerys and also Davos and now they are back in Book 5 after the events in A Storm of Swords (ASOS).
Warning: Spoilers Below
My Favorite Characters in Book 5
-Reek
-Davos Seaworth
-Barristan Selmy
-Young Griff
-Daenerys
ADWD is like a setup for the last 2 books, where a lot of things are happening (Winter is here) and of course a lot of cliffhangers, here are some questions that needs to be answered in Book 6 (The Winds of Winter) and Book 7 (A Dream of Spring).
Major Cliffhangers in Book 5 (and Book 4)
-What will happen to Jon Snow? Is he dead? With this, there will surely be war at the Wall as the supporters of Jon Snow (like Tormund Giantsbane, Aly Karstark, Val and the other Wildlings) will retaliate.
-What will happen to Daenerys and Drogon as they now face Khal Jhago and the Dothraki? Will the Dothraki bow down to Daenerys since she has a dragon or will they attack her?
-Who will control the other 2 dragons? Victarion? Tyrion?
-What will Prince Doran do if he knew that Quentyn is already dead?
