Unfortunately I liked Tara a fair bit, she was the best of the minor characters. (if only they had killed anya instead!) And I wasn't particularly invested in Cat or Robb, they were both OK, but not engrossing to me. Mostly, I remember reading it and just saying "yeah right...." Especially the bit with the tents full of armed men (which I guess had been up for the whole day and no one who wasn't supposed to had ever wandered into one thinking it was a feast tent...  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> ) who destroy the army of the north outright. It was the literary version of a particularly bad D&D game where the DM just decides something is going to happen and logic be damned. It was a scooby doo moment for me, where scooby and shaggy run away from the monster and slam the door and then the monster's in the room with them? Why? Just, you know, thats what happens.Bear in mind I wasn't in love with the books at that point. I read the first three at a wack on the advice of my hubby (we've talked about that particular wrong steer at length) and I doubt I would have been waiting on the second or third with bated breath after the first one. But a couple of the characters were still interesting to me, and I had invested however many hundred pages of reading at that point, might as well get the pay off, eh? It was at that point that I knew the payoff was never coming at least for me.</blockquote>
