A Feast for Crows (A Song of Ice and Fire, #4)
by George R.R. Martin
by George R.R. Martin
This book is really the 5th and 4th books cut in half. But rather than George cutting it squarely in half he just put half the character storylines in. So we miss out on hearing anything about various characters like Dany, Tyrion, Bran, and Stannis, and only hear a little about Jon Snow and Arya. This is not a bad thing, but it did feel like there was a gaping hole.
I think my favorite thing about this book was Littlefinger's scheming. (view spoiler)

What you said is ture. George Martin talked about this in his interview. He said the 4th book was too big that he had to divided into 2 books. A Feast for Crows will only follow a few characters. But in Dance of Dragon, all the other characters will come back. :-) His interview: http://www.goodreads.com/videos/show/...

I think it's about time for him to start killing people, there are just too many story lines. Some of them I really don't care about. But maybe something interesting will come of them in the next book. It's definitely time for him to put out another really good one like the 3rd book.
I totally agree with you, Melissa. I remember when it felt like ANYONE can go at any time for reasons just as complicated and unforeseeable as in real life. GRRM's ability to pull the floor out from underneath you is in deep hibernation mode, and the whole wow-I-never-saw-that-coming factor is all but gone. But I still have faith in him. There has yet to be a book in this series that I haven't utterly lost myself inside of.
