Superb characters and prose. I often got confused with what was happening to everyone at different times; GRRM must have an amazing memory to keep up with all of his characters and plotlines. Definitely want to read more.

Another great entry in this amazing world. Not as strong as any of the previous books, in my opinion, but still great.

This book had much lower stakes when compared to book 3, which is fine since the only thing that could've topped that one would be the Seven Kingdoms themselves just pretty much exploding.

I liked how this book is split with the next one, giving us more time with fewer characters. I think that was a really good choice and the series as a whole definitely benefits from it. The only problem was that some of the POVs in this book felt inconsequential. Certain characters had several chapters where they just... didn't do much.

Other than that I thought this book was fantastic. Particularly the ending. I won't say more because of spoilers, but man the last several chapters are phenomenal.

Apparently Feast Of Crows is a weaker entry in this series on reputation but its still an easy five stars for me and that's despite some of our favourite characters missing it was still a riveting read. It also focuses on some characters that would be regarded as minor in the story up to now so small that I had to google who they were.

Like many fans my money is on George RR Martin never finishing this series but I for one still think its worth reading and its still one of the best fantasy series ever written even if we never get blown away by the Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring will remain just that.

This book was not as action-packed as the others but I still really liked it. It's a lot more political, especially the chapters on Cersei. If you're not interested in the minutia of politics, this probably won't be your favorite of the series. This book focuses a lot more on character building than the previous ones, which I really liked.
