This is the first properly stand alone GRRM novel that I’ve attempted to read, and it’s quite different from his most famous series.

The second half of the fifth book of A Song of Ice and Fire really does work as it's own book. Each chapter of the whole series really comes across as its own episode and they could easily be strung together in one long story or split between almost any one. Martin splits his novels at particularly shocking places though, and this follows that trend.
