A Feast for Crows by George R.R. MartinMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Now the fourth offering in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" novel series. There is so much going on in seven kingdoms, George R. R. Martin has chosen to move the action from the war over the Iron Throne (which is winding down now after the Red Wedding - book three) to Cersie Lannister's who is out for her dwarf brother's blood as she assumed he poisoned Joffrey, her first incestuous son, at his own wedding and killed their father), the search of Sansa, and the brewing battle between the Wildlings beyond the wall and those who have taken the black, led by Arya and Sansa's bastard brother John Snow.
About half way through the story, I began to wonder about some of the other characters I had learned to love or hate. But it wasn't until after I reached the final page that Martin explained that those characters would be back in volume five. Of interest also in this edition, the reader is introduced, or at least allowed to follow, some of the lesser characters (and even some new ones) to see how they move the story forward.
A good read. I'm enjoying this epic fantasy series almost as much as "Lord of the Rings.
