i think that this was my least favorite of GoT so far? I didn't dislike it, it just felt like a B plot to me, and i spent the whole book waiting for a climax that never really came. i may also feel that way because a) the last book was so crazy that i kind of expected this one would be the same level of chaos, b) because i kept reading while i was high, and c) because i waited so long in between books that i was like who tf are some of these minor characters i literally do not remember. i was glad to finally get a Cersei POV in this one but i missed some of my other favs' perspectives :/ and the iron islands stuff was interesting but felt like kind of random and irrelevant until the very end

quadrille's review against another edition

5.0

Reviewing this series is hard after the fact, because I basically ploughed through four books non-stop and didn't even pause to review them properly. Just this: they're utterly amazing.

A Feast for Crows felt slower than the rest, though -- probably due to its missing viewpoints and limited focus due to being split off from A Dance with Dragons, but you gotta do what you gotta do. I loved all the characters featured here, though, and the new POVs were delightful as always -- I particularly enjoyed the new addition of several minor viewpoints. Martin's doing some really interesting experiments in narration, identity, and memory. Basically, the more I read and learn and notice, the more I'm in goddamn awe. :{

Still, again, the pace felt slower. It makes sense, though -- the realm's mopping up, and maybe gearing up for the events of the next book. For which I wait breathlessly. I do not understand how original fans survived the 6-year wait.
