A review by jackiezee
A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin

4.0

I liked this, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the others mostly because of the frustration from wondering what was going on with the other half of the characters. Martin makes a note that this book and the next were really supposed to be one book, and rather than cutting the story in half chronologically, he decided he'd rather tell all of half the characters' stories than half of all the characters' stories. I think that was a silly decision, because it's not "all" of half the characters' stories either; there are two more books to go! So now I spent half of this book frustrated that I wasn't hearing anything about other characters, and I'll spend half the next one worrying about characters in this book that won't be mentioned in the next one.

I appreciate the originality of the idea, Martin, but there's a reason why everyone else writes in chronological order. It works.
