“The worst isn't done. The worst is just beginning, and there are no happy endings.” I want to say this tome is one of the best in the series and worth the patience to finish but alas that would be a lie to a summer child. The truth is A Feast for Crows (A Song of Ice and Fire, #4) is the volume I noticed a serious disconnection from the other books and events just repeat themselves in many different locales and many pieces of dialogue to the point where you just groan (the same with certain character's chapters). Now that's not saying the whole 753 pages are to be skipped entirely on the contrary Cersei's and Brienne's chapters are the only ones that propel the familiar excitement, vivid complex personalities and treachery we all have come to love about A Song of Ice and Fire and the rest well may have you asking "What the heck happened?". If this is your first time sitting down with this epic, I honestly would stick to the first 3 titles. So much and yet so little happens in A Feast for Crows and if you must read this, just be prepared for a merry song, chase and dance that plays over and over throughout everything. -Purchased and re-read on kindle EGP/February 2019 Comments are closed.
