dirk_bannion_author 's review for:
A Feast for Crows
by George R.R. Martin
Once again, a fantastic addition to the Fire and Ice series. I regretfully have to drop my consistent five star reviews to four on this one for one simple reason: half the story disappeared. Now, Martin explains in an Author's Note at the end, and I kind of figured it out before I got there because of references in some of the chapters along the way, but basically he's going to cover the same time period and more in the next book [b:A Dance With Dragons|10664113|A Dance With Dragons (A Song of Ice and Fire, #5)|George R.R. Martin|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327885335s/10664113.jpg|2936175], while focusing on the characters he ignored in this one. But, it was a little disappointing to me.
Of course, it's just my opinion, and honestly I don't know how I would have handled the dilemma he was dealing with - too much story, too little reasonable printing possibilities... - but I think I would have preferred to span less time and keep all the story threads going rather than leave half the characters in limbo while running ahead with the other half.
I'm just glad I read this now, with Dance With Dragons waiting there on my Kindle, instead of back in 2005, with six years to wait for the other half of the characters to reappear!
All that aside, still one of the very best stories going, and I can't wait to continue!
