I finally bought Feast for Crows |
|
I'm about two thirds through it and I'm bored to tears
Unless Cercei or someone major dies, it was not worth the $28 that I paid
and of course, we have to wait for the next one to see about Dany and her plans to retake Westeros
AARRRRGGGGHHHHH

4. Book 4 of a complex and exciting fantasy series by George R R Martin |
|
Edited on Wed Jan-25-06 10:55 PM by yellowdogintexas
Book 1 is A Game of Thrones Book 2 is A Clash of Kings Book 3 is A Storm of Swords Book 4 is A Feast of Crows Book 5 will be A Dance With Dragons
Read them in order or you will be totally lost.
most likely there will be 7 books in all. There is magic and sorcery in these books, but it is subtle. The character development is awesome. I have read the first 3 twice and I almost never do that.
Book 4 became so huge and complicated that he divided it in half; Dance W/Dragons is supposed to be out in about a year.
Highly recommend it. It is not boring. Book 4 takes a while to get where it is going but it is worth it

yeah - it does kinda drag compared to the other books
from what I understand it was a publisher's decision to "cut the book" in half - Feast of Crows and the next book out (Dance with dragon?) were suppose to be one volume
ennywhoo-- I'm hooked

8. It seems to drag, but when you take the context of the events |
|
into consideration, then it makes sense. The events in this book takes place in the lull after the first round of major warfare, and the way I read it, it's setting up the main plot for MAJOR shake ups. I mean, you know the excrement will impact the air conditioning in a major way - Ironborn making a run for Daenerys? Internicine warfare between church and state? not to mention a major incursion of Others (you know it's coming...).
I just finished it, btw. I enjoyed it, once I realized that the book focuses on the non-major characters, which I thought was actually pretty clever. It's nice to see the evolution of Jaime Lannister, for example. And the Arya Stark sections in Braavos were really interesting.
