Book 23 - feast of crows

So I finished the next book in the game of thrones series "feast of crows" by george r r martin.  so far this one was my least favorite most of my favorite characters weren't hardly in the book.  It was hard to follow and very depressing.  Still it's very well written and as usual there were some surprises. And now I need to read the next one too.  But I want to finish one of my other summer reading books first.
