The fifth - and currently last published - volume of George R. R. Martins "A Song of Ice and Fire" shows the reader what happened to the characters not mentioned in volume four.
Jon Snow, elected 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch faces envy and pure hate from some of his brothers, and finally has to really grow up and fast.
Daenerys has conquered Meereen and decided to stay there, in order to lead her motley people and therefore refine her leading skills. But she faces problems as well, as not all of her folken want to be lead by her... she even needs to find a new husband to appease some part of the Meereen people.
Tyrion is travelling more or less around the whole known world, and not all of this travelling is done by his own free will.
One further learns what happened to Cersei Lannister, Asha and Theon Greyjoy, Arya and Bran Stark.
Much is going on in Westeros, and the fifth volume leaves the reader somewhere in the middle of nowhere, so let's hope that George keeps on writing :-).
I award 8 out of 10 for many unexpectant turns and a character development which was much appreciated - at least from my point of view.
