A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin

3.0

I'd been told this was the least-interesting Song of Ice and Fire books, and I think that's wholly unfair. It took me a long time to read, that's true, but I was traveling and moving, so I don't think that counts. I really enjoyed it! Much more than book two, which was a snoozefest. There are definitely a bunch of characters I absolutely could not give two shits about (you will no doubt be surprised to know I still hate reading about all the Greyjoys OH WAIT NO YOU WON'T BECAUSE THEY ARE TERRIBLY BORING), but I liked the introduction of the Dornish folks (cool fallout from the last book). This is quite obviously a book that is setting us up for more exciting future events. For groundwork, it's decent. I'm excited to see where this road is headed.

Oh, and FINALLY Samwell Tarly lost some goddamn weight. I can't believe it was a freakin boat trip that did it (and not, you know, starving in a land of ice and running from wights or anything), but at least GRRM is FINALLY acknowledging that it'd be impossible for that guy to still be as obese as he's always depicted.
