A review by surikun
A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin
4.0
A true masterpiece of words as expected from George R.R. Martin. I really like his writing and way with words that I fall in love with this world over and over again even though it's full of tragedy.
This book was great, but still not great enough. I don't like how the same period of time is separated in two books, this one and [b:A Dance with Dragons|10664113|A Dance with Dragons (A Song of Ice and Fire, #5)|George R.R. Martin|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327885335s/10664113.jpg|2936175]. I don't know what happened with Tyrion and I hate that I have to wait to buy next book to find out! And I hate that I won't know the continuation of Arya's story until Martin realises that [b:The Winds of Winter|12111823|The Winds of Winter (A Song of Ice and Fire, #6)|George R.R.

Also, it felt like this book was a calming before the storm. It didn't have any action. And those brief battles it did have weren't described at all! I wish there was more action. There was only Cersei being evil as usual, Jaime moping around, Brienne looking for Sansa, Sansa living other life, Sam travelling, and everyone looking for Tyrion. It was endless circle of that. Though I loved that last Cersei's chapter, though I would love to see her face when she realises that Jaime won't help her. Oh my heart sang in that parts!
I love that we got an insight on Dorne. People of Dorne are really mysterious to me and I loved to read parts where the plot happened there. I will never understand how men can be so stupid and fall in love with women that uses them only for their own scheming games. Oh poor Arys. I really liked him... :(
I want to know what happened with Brienne! Did she die or did she live? What was the word that she screamed at the end of her chapter? I need answers!!!!!! She is one of my favorite characters and I'd hate to have to mourn over her too.
I guess this book left a lot of unfinished business between the author and the readers. I can only imagine what the next one will do. I just wish he would hurry up and release [b:The Winds of Winter|12111823|The Winds of Winter (A Song of Ice and Fire, #6)|George R.R.
