[Knight of the Day]

First time I read AFFC I have to admit to being slightly disappointed.... I felt that it did not answer a lot of the questions I had from the previous book and some sections were a little drawn out.
But when I re-read I realised I'd missed a lot of subtle clues, hidden plots and character secrets...I had been reading in haste the first time so i could find out what was happening quickly...
I have now read it three times ( once while starting from scratch -AGAIN- with AGOT )and I love the way it fits into the series its the lull in pace after the War, its the calm before the storm (no pun intended) of ADWD, its full to the brim of characters ( important and not ) and it opens up new avenues of possibilities for future growth in plotlines.....
I think it cant be judged as a single book but as a part of the series I think its damn good!!!!!!!!!!! 2 thums up, a gold Star and A Smily Face drawn next to it!!
