Am torn between 4 and 5 rating- finished my 1000 pages in record time realizing that the story arc are still moving in almost real time so that the reader is not going to see a neat conclusion at all but multiple cliffhangers in the last 200 pages and many teasers for the next volume. I was pleased to see some characters resurrected from apparently dead states in "Feast for Crows" but then I finished this book with no update on great subplot involving Little Fingers from the last book as well! Martin does a great job in explaining the complexity of ruling versus the short lived joys of conquering foreign cities through the Daenrys character. Also he continues to showcase how war changes the characters of so many of his players, in ways both heroic and venal

The first two words say it all; and probably should be larger in Graphic treatment then the sub-heading. "IN -Justice" is the day-to day result of years of over-crowded court systems and bureacratic appointments, plus under-funding and a lack of visibility compared to other causes that receive far more press.
