It’s weirdly entertaining for so sexist and misogynistic white fantasy written for men who would like to see women closed in their homes and being available for them on any occasion.

This book was long but the further I got, the more connected everything became... Characters I once loved grew more annoying, and I began to have a soft spot for even those characters I used to hate. I cannot wait to continue reading asoiaf

SOME SPOILERS AHEAD. AS WELL AS COMMENTARY ON THE TELEVISION SERIES.
FAIR WARNING.

A Feast for Crows follows some of the least likable characters in the entire series, i.e. Cersei and the Greyjoys. Jamie continues his character development, and we get a good round backstory on Brienne. But Feast of Crows does feel at points like a filler for the series, rounding out some of the finer points of GRRM's world building, especially in places we rarely saw but heard of in the first 3 books: Dorne and Oldtown, of note.

Speaking of Dorne, this was the best part of the book. In the TV show, Dorne's involvement in the politics of the Seven Kingdoms is pretty much eliminated. Adding the Martell family and the true power they wielded as one of the Seven Kingdoms and putting the Martell family on equal footing as the other liege lord families (Lannister, Stark, Tully, Arryn, Baratheon, Tyrell) adds another chess piece to the board that is the Game of Thrones.
