A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin

I was fortunate to read this book well after it was published, so I didn't have to wait for years for it to come out only to find out that many favorite character were not even in the book. It was odd not reading about the likes of Daenerys and Tyrion, but enough of the characters that we know and love were present that I was able to make my peace with it and enjoy the ride.
Just like Jaime did when he made his first appearance as a narrator, Cersei too surprised me as being one of my favorites! I don't love her the way that I love Jaime, but I always looked forward to her chapters and enjoyed the time spent in her diabolical mind.
Brienne's plotline didn't interest me as much because although I enjoyed the fact that she was out searching for Sansa and Arya, I knew she wouldn't find them, so her quest was destined to amount to a hill of beans.
Sansa continues to impress me with how she has grown as a person. I wouldn't mind if her plotline moved along quicker, but I mostly enjoyed her chapters.
Arya is constantly reinventing herself, but she will always remain that strong insolent girl with a chip on her shoulder. I desperately want something good to happen to this poor girl.
Jaime's storyline was a little lacking in this one, but I loved his ignoring Cersei's plea for help at the end. "And Moonboy for all I know" is what I most remember from his chapters.
Sam's story was another that seemed to drag on and on. I think each of his chapters could have been shortened by half and it would have greatly improved the whole.
On the Iron Islands, I most enjoyed Asha's sections and found the rest hard to follow. This led to some confusion in the next book where these characters play a bigger role.
In Dorne, I actually really liked Arys, but he didn't last long. Arianne had her moments as well and I didn't mind hearing some about Myrcella since she seems like she is a key piece in the game of thrones. I was lost through most of Areo's chapters.
