  1. When bodybuilder influencers keep on emphasizing "hard work" when they work out approx. 15-20 hrs a week.  Going to the gym is a part time job but it's not the only thing.   What's harder than the workout is meal prep and being consistent with diet.  And worse than that, taking all those steroids and having a lot of health consequences.  Soreness, cardiovascular health etc.

  2. Feast of Crows has some additional writing that's a little awkward.

     

    GRRM instantly turns Qyburn from a subtle, mild-mannered 'punished' meister (in book 1-3) into a scheming, mustache twirling mad scientist/lord.

     

    Brienne is written into a Mary Sue.  She is written as socially awkward and socially dumb in the first 3 books and in this one she suddenly gets really witty /badass.

     

    Asha was the original Mary Sue in books 1-3 and GRRM double downs on this to an annoying extent.

     

    Cersei was evil in book 1-3 but in book 4 her evil is doubled, too.

     

    It's too much of a character stretch as GRRM did not write the characters like this in the first 3 books.

     

    Jaime is so far the best written character.  I like his psychological development here.

     

    3 1/2 books now and there is so, so little Bran.
