A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin
5.0
Wow! Martin’s books just get better and better; the main plot is so complex with all the different character’s and each of their storylines and how it all intertwines with the plot. I have so many questions after finishing! (Isn’t that how it always is when I finish one of these books though?) Firstly, Brienne! Are you alive or did you actually get hung?! While, Cersei is not my favorite character, it was interesting to see her thought processes to better understand how her decisions and how character ticks… I think I would classify her as a paranoid alcoholic. She definitely got what was coming to her at the end of this book when she was imprisoned; it was quite comical to see her scheming work ultimately against her, she has such hatred in her heart. The only Lannisters I like are Jamie and Tyrion; I am so proud of Jamie for ignoring his sister’s letter as well - it is really nice to see he’s becoming less blind when it comes to how she really is with all her ambitions and inherit evil. I don’t know who I side with most; I find I enjoy characters more than families but the Starks will always have a place in my heart because they did start this story off from the very beginning in the first book. It’s ironic really that both Stark sisters have to pretend to be something they are not just to survive. And poor Jon; he seems so cold as Lord Commander up on the wall. I wonder what thoughts are going through his head right now with being still a young boy but also having to be the leader for an entire group of people who all depend upon him (while also playing the “game” with King Stannis at the wall…). Two other characters whom I love dearly and I can’t wait to know more about: Sandor and Gendry. I KNOW Sandor is still alive and is the gravedigger… it’s plainly obvious to me when I was reading that part. As for the beloved bastard son of King Robert… I hope he continues to survive and keep doing good things by watching the orphans at “Orphan Inn.” Stay golden! I hope you and Arya shall meet again soon in the future. I absolutely ship them (and Sandor/Sansa and Jamie/Brienne…) and it would break my shipper heart if they never got to meet again.
Rated: 4.75/5.0—Overall, I loved it. There were lots of new characters and expanding on previously secondary characters which makes for a very busy plot line and very difficult to keep everything straight! I did enjoy getting to get inside of the head of some characters upon why they do the things they do based upon their thought processes. Everything seems to be getting to a head with all these characters vying for their champion for the Iron Throne; a lot of characters are now setting their sights on Dany and her dragons. I am excited to learn more about her and all the other character’s who didn’t get a chance to be featured in this book. I am also very eager to know what happens to all the characters who were in this book; all of their stories seemed to have ended in cliffhangers!
