A Feast for Crows Written by George R.R. Martin

After centuries of bitter strife and fatal treachery, the seven powers dividing the land have decimated one another into an uneasy truce. Or so it appears. . . . With the death of the monstrous King Joffrey, Cersei is ruling as regent in King’s Landing. Robb Stark’s demise has broken the back of the Northern rebels, and his siblings are scattered throughout the kingdom like seeds on barren soil. Few legitimate claims to the once desperately sought Iron Throne still exist—or they are held in hands too weak or too distant to wield them effectively. The war, which raged out of control for so long, has burned itself out. But as in the aftermath of any climactic struggle, it is not long before the survivors, outlaws, renegades, and carrion eaters start to gather, picking over the bones of the dead and fighting for the spoils of the soon-to-be dead. Now in the Seven Kingdoms, as the human crows assemble over a banquet of ashes, daring new plots and dangerous new alliances are formed, while surprising faces—some familiar, others only just appearing—are seen emerging from an ominous twilight of past struggles and chaos to take up the challenges ahead. It is a time when the wise and the ambitious, the deceitful and the strong will acquire the skills, the power, and the magic to survive the stark and terrible times that lie before them. It is a time for nobles and commoners, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and sages to come together and stake their fortunes . . . and their lives. For at a feast for crows, many are the guests—but only a few are the survivors. Few books have captivated the imagination and won the devotion and praise of readers and critics everywhere as has George R. R. Martin’s monumental epic cycle of high fantasy that began with A Game of Thrones. Now, in A Feast for Crows, Martin delivers the long-awaited fourth book of his landmark series, as a kingdom torn asunder finds itself at last on the brink of peace . . . only to be launched on an even more terrifying course of destruction.
------------------------------------------------------ Thank the seven that I read the reviews to "A Feast for Crows" before I read the book; they set my expectations so low that only a total disaster would have disappointed me. I started out HATING "Songs of Fire and Ice"...I couldn't stand all the minor characters with their dumb backstories, and the heraldry and Ser this and Ser that...until I got to about page 100 in the first book. Once I "got" what Martin was going for I was totally hooked and didn't stop reading until I was done with the four books. Then I got the fantasy flight card game, and started the HBO series, but that's another story... Anyway, I can imagine if I'd had to wait years and years for A Feast For Crows to come out, and then wait another 8 years (or whatever) for the 5th book to show up, I would have been mortally wounded and frustrated. However, I'm a late comer to this world, and I just finished the 4th book and the 5th is coming out in a matter of weeks. Ok, this really isn't about me, what I'm trying to say is that a new reader to the series isn't going to hate the 4th book as much as someone who was there from the beginning. I love just hanging around in Martin's world, and if the machinations of the Dornish (creating yet ANOTHER regent to go to war over! genius!) and Cersei's cold-war with the Tyrells, and
Arya's stay at the House of Black and White, and Brienne's adventures in her search for Sansa, and Littlefinger's fight with the Lords Declarant don't move the story along enough, well heck the 5th book will be out soon! I'm the last person I thought would be defending this book, but reading them all at once gives a different perspective than having to wait an increasing number of years between tomes. So if you're new to this as I am, don't be afraid of "A Feast for Crows". It's a pretty darned enjoyable read. Like everyone else, I'm looking forward to all the Tyrion and Dany chapters in the next one! PS: Martin has to be the most patient writer in the history of writing. If I'd been writing "Song of Ice and Fire", I would have had the OTHERS all over the place. somehow, he has managed to show them only a couple of times (though people invoke them as a curse on almost every page) since we saw one battle Waymar Royce in the first pages of the first novel. I am amazed by this.
