Martin's monumental epic cycle of high fantasy. 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. A FEAST FOR CROWS It seems too good to be true. 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.

book 4
This book was a huge snooze. It lacked direction and heart. I found myself surprised that the editors allowed this to be published without tightening up the story line and having more relevant character development and action. I doubt I will read the next book in the series. It appears the author has lost focus and momentum.
I liked that this one had a narrower focus, servicing only a few of the characters, but didn't like that some minor characters were randomly introduced only to have the one chapter from their POV. Still love Arya, Sansa, Jaime and Brienne. I like Sam a LOT better now. I absolutely HATED getting so much of Cersei's POV, though there was a brief moment at the end where I felt pity for her. The feeling was so surprising and repellent that I've blocked it from my memory and now I can't remember why I felt that way. Looking forward to getting back some of the other characters, but once I've read A Dance With Dragons I know I'll have to settle in for the long wait for books 6 & 7 like the other obsessed schmucks.
For those that hate this book ... "they know nothing, Jon Snow" i had a very enjoyable time with this book. i found some of the chapters to be quite grueling to get through but it all is worth it in the end. The only major problems i had with the book is that we dont read a lot about Jon, Davos, Tyrion, or Dany. Like someone has mentioned before, the story is divided into 2 books. Before reading this book, i strongly advise that you check out this website : http://boiledleather.com/post/25902554148/a-new-reader-friendly-combined-reading-order-for-a This website above is a combined reading of AFFC and ADWD. The books are written 5 years apart, but the stor(ies) take place all at the same time. It is basically if you want to read both at the same time, which i will definitely do my 2nd time around reading the series. Anyways, like all of the ASOIAF books, this one was great! lots more to read in the future and im really excited to see whats to come next for the series. I also suggest getting the audiobooks. it really makes the story more enjoyable and easy to read along with. Although it might take you twice as long to finish, it is twice as effective IMO. Literally ANY questions you have about the ASOIAF books just go http://asoiaf.westeros.org/ Literally the best asset i ever came across while reading the series. helped guide me through when things got foggy and i couldn't remember significant things regarding characters. I'm seriously so excited to read on!!!!!!!
I got burned out in book two by the never ending litany of characters... Main characters, minor characters, all their ancestors, servants, bondsmen (and their ancestors, servants and bondsmen)... No doubt, the mind that can come up with a thousand perfectly reasonable names that have never appeared in THIS world, can tell a compelling story... But holy cow, I got lost in ten thousand nearly irrelevant details. However, if you just love the pageantry of Medeival Europe, the author does not disappoint...
I know that a lot of people have issues with A Feast for Crows. Most of the issues deal with the introduction of many new characters and land. However, if you want to understand the series, AFFC is great! So many back room dealings are going on that you never know who is on who's side. The other big disappointment is that some characters are omitted. That is because Martin decided to divide books 4 and 5 on a geographical line. It's kind of neat actually, because you read about events in AFFC and that think you know what happened. But, then you read about them in book 5 from a completely opposite point of view and are confused all over again!
I'm beginning to become depressed during the reading of these books. It is becomingn clear that there is suppose to be no hope for any of these people. The kind and pleasant people come to no good end, anymore then the evil. In fact, it seems the decent people come to this bad end faster then the evil do.
I like it when you are given the chance to explore every character's story.... I really enjoyed this book.
I didn't find this book as boring as everyone made it out to be. You don't get addicted to it like you do with the others but it was still a good book. I was told to just skip it but I definitely don't think you should.
