Can you love and hate a book at the same time? The first three books of George R. R. Martin's A SONG OF FIRE AND ICE series were phenomenal. A FEAST FOR CROWS is the fourth book in the series, and the author decided he was taking too long to write it, so he cut the book in half and published this one.
