A review by nicolem_young
A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin
4.0
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
4 Stars= It was a very good read. Might read it again.
GEORGE R.R. MARTIN *clap* IS *clap* OUT *clap* OF *clap* POCKET! *clap*
I must mention that the most out of pocket thing he has done thus far was having a fourteen-year-old boy get married to a damn toddler.
A close second is having an eight-year-old boy marry a sixteen-year-old girl. That just makes me want to vomit. But that's not what I'm here to talk about.
This book has made my mind such a mess that I can't even form a proper review of what I just read. So, I apologize in advance.
There are so many things in this book that were just the sloppiest of the sloppy:
*Jaime finally gained a backbone when dealing with Cersei. Yes, Jaime, honey. A lovely golf clap for you, sir. He has won me over. He wiggled his way into my cold, dead heart.
*Asha just being Asha (I can't say much more than that without giving some things away). She is out here trying to change up the game.
*Petyr Baelish just being Littlefingerish. (Again, I can't say much more than that.) Don't ever change you, little rascal. Young Sansa has learned how to play his game well. Plus, she is nice to young Lord Robert. God knows she is better than me.
*Jon's absolute 360 when it came to his character. I don't like this new Jon Snow. I want the old one back. However, at times I understood why he did what he had to do. In his defense, we barely saw him in this book, but what I did see I did not like!
*Kevan Lannister is out here, finally standing up to his niece. Dropping hints that he knows about all her deep, dark secrets. Dare I say that he is one Lannister who may have a bit of sense in his brain?
*Arianne Martell is out here being a petty princess and does not mind using Arys Oakheart for all her dirty deeds. But as we quickly learn, the Martell family is a messy one. They just might be one of the messiest families out there. But I will forever and always love Oberyn. Nothing will change that.
*Aeron Damphair has lost his ever-loving mind, and all hell breaks loose on the Iron Islands. No, Aeron, baby, what is you doing? Honestly, that whole family is just a mess. Asha, Theon, Aeron, Euron, and Victarion (who finally decided to join the party), the lot of them. They are all just banana sandwich. However, Euron is the most banana sandwichiest of them all. It is Greyjoy against Greyjoy.
*Arya Stark is still out in the world, trying to find her way. She slips in and out of trouble, per usual. She does what she needs to do to survive. You do you, girl.
*Cersei. That's it; that's the whole sloppy thing. Just Cersei Lannister. She must want to catch these hands with the way she's acting because they are rated E for everyone, even self-proclaimed queens. She always says, "Everything I do. I do for Tommen". No, sweetheart, everything you do, you do for your damn self. Hopefully, she will get what's coming to her soon enough.
There were so many things I was here for:
**Please see Jaime's backbone comment above*
*Brienne of Tarth is still out here doing the damn thing. *snap* Yes, honey! *snap*. Brienne is the kind of friend you want by your side when you're out on a mission. If you tell that girl to do something, you better believe she is getting it done.
**Please see Kevan Lannister standing up to his niece comment above*
*BRONN! That's it. Just, BRONN! I just love that guy.
Folks, as always, I must warn you not to get too attached to any of the characters in these stories. Don't make the same mistakes that I have, because the death count climbs. NOBODY IS SAFE FROM GRRM'S SWORD. NOBODY!
There was only slight or no mention of Bran Stark, Meera Reed, Jojen Reed, and Daenerys Targaryen in his story. Which is great if you don't care for any of them. So yay for you if you don't like any of them, and boo for you if you do.
The story is told from the different points of view of many of the same characters in the past. However, a few new ones are added. (Asha, Brienne, Arys, Areo, Vicatrion, Aeron, and Arianne)
I wish I could tell you that I'm sick of all the drama, but that would be a lie. Because I'm not, and I want more.
I must note that, as much as I loved this book, it is my least favorite out of the four I have read from the A Song of Fire and Ice saga. The first three books took over my life while I was reading them. They were all I could think about. When I wasn't reading them, I was thinking about reading them, and I just don't feel the same way about AFFC. And for that reason, it is getting only four stars from me. But a solid four stars nonetheless!
I don't even know when I'm going to read the fifth book because I want this high to last as long as possible, and I'm not ready for things to come to an end. Well, at least until GRRM decides to finally give the people what they want and finish this glorious piece of work.
4 Stars= It was a very good read. Might read it again.
