A Feast for Crows
by George R.R. Martin
It's easy to see why A Feast for Crows was considered a disappointment to fans of the series, particularly those who waited five years for its publication. After such a long time, it better be good, and if readers can only catch up with half of the characters they've waited so long to hear about, while new characters are introduced and subplots expanded on… well, I can understand the frustration.
But I don't share it. Oh, I know it's the late fans' advantage: I didn't have to wait, and I don't have to wait to read A Dance With Dragons either. So I'm not raging over the wait and then raging that, when I finally get the book, I'm still waiting to hear about X-character.
Instead, I'm going, "oh, well, I see your point there, George R. R. Martin, you do whatever you feel is right, just keep writing." I won't get into the muck of debating whether or not Martin is my bitch or not (If we're getting into that kind of talk, I'm pretty sure I should be his), except to say that writers aren't trained monkeys.
At any rate, I liked A Feast for Crows a lot – I didn't feel like that it was as good as the earlier books in A Song of Fire and Ice, but it was still enjoyable. It also lacks the suspense and action that the others had in spades. But, still, A Feast for Crows was still a great book.
And I'm loving the way Jaime's character is developing from being the worst Lannister to one of the better characters. Oh, and Brienne. She's awesome. I'm really skeeved out by Littlefinger tho. D:

Spoiler
I was so glad when Cersei's plots turned around and started biting her on the arse. She's such a vile character. I don't feel like she'll get her comeuppance so soon, but fingers crossed that when she does, it will be magnificent. I'm loving how Jaime is growing as a character and moving away from his evil ways too.And I'm loving the way Jaime's character is developing from being the worst Lannister to one of the better characters.
