Dance with Dragons by George R. R. Martin, Fantasy, 1016 pages.
Martin's epic saga continues in the long awaited fifth volume. "Valar Morghulis" is the watchword for some of the characters. It means "all men must die". Martin drives home that point frequently, so try not to get too attached to anyone in the book, as bad decisions, angry gods, mad rulers, plague, warfare, and betrayal are everywhere in this world. Its a finely crafted world, one in which naked self-interest and betrayal will get you far. I don't know how or when this will all end, but I hope I live to see it.
