A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin
3.0

Tyrion in the bathroom with a crossbow. Yes, I would buy a Song of Ice and Fire version of Clue (TM). This book is when you start to notice that Martin is very fond of the phrase "much and more" and "little and less." You also begin to register all the tropes you have been ignoring for the last three books, like how if a character is wearing boiled leather, that character is serious. By the same token, the fancier someone's armor is, the more he is compensating for something. Anyone remember why Davos Seaworth lost his fingers? Anybody? I can't seem to remember. Never fear; Martin will remind you! Seven more times. It is also with this book that you start to suspect that Martin's story has gotten too big for him to conclude efficiently. I think this world and its history are so vivid and vast in his mind that he feels compelled to show us every part of it--at least three times--whether it serves the main story or not. But, dammit, I am addicted and must stick with it!
