A Feast for Crows (Book 4 of a Song of Ice and Fire) | Paperback

When i first read this book i didnt get past the fisrt 100 pages. I thought the book was going off the main story line and i did not enjoy it. With the news of the first in this series becoming a HBO tv series i decided to read the books released so far again. This time round i found the book a joy to read. Martin has split this book into two. The second being a Dance of Dragons (yet to be released). Half of the major charactors are not mentioned as their story will run parallel with those of a Feast of Crows in the up coming book. As usual there are plenty of new twists and plots added to this book. from time to time you get a 'stayle' chapter but its worth persuing as they all set the stage for the next plot twist. A great read for any who likes fantasy. I would infact go as far as to say, you do not like fantasy novels until you have read these books!

I think in this novel George R.R thought he needed to take a step back from the main characters and work on some of the secondary plots also, he has introduced new storylines with the Iron Islands and Brienne, both storylines are good but not on a par with the Lannisters or the Starks, their is still a view from the 2 also through Cersai/Jaime and Sansa/Arya, this is where the novel gets better and the plot starts to move along, Jaime's plot is probably the most interesting with him wrestling with who he is and what to do with himself, the next novel should be awesome with the return of Jon and Tyrion but this will tide us over till that arrives
