Whilst finding the beginning slower than the previous entries, A Feast for Crows is still an addicting read just like all of A Song of Ice and Fire so far. I loved the Brienne chapters that let us see how horribly the war of the five kings had affected ordinary people. Plus it was fun to get inside Cersei's head and read all the layers to her character, and of course, Jamie's chapters are always amazing. His story over the course of the book was brilliant. 

These thoughts are very disjointed. Nonetheless, aside from a couple of ironborn characters I couldn't find the enjoyment for, all the characters were great to read, and it's so fun seeing this story slowing taking shape to something greater and greater. It doesn't have the battles of previous books but the intrigue is riveting.
