A Feast for Crows by George R.R. MartinMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was really nervous about reading this book after reading all the bad reviews about it.
However, I was pleasantly surprised. I especially adored Cersei's POV chapters as you really get to know her character more in-depth in comparison to the previous three books. Do I condone her actions? Absolutely not but I understand why she takes them. At one point, I actually had to put down my Kindle and started crying. Her story is one of the most heartbreaking of ASoIaF.
Enough about Cersei before I go on about her too much. I love her so I can easily talk about her for ages. I loved Arya's journey throughout the book. I missed Tyrion and Jon of course but I was surprised I didn't miss Daenerys all that much. She's a good character, don't get me wrong but I'm starting to get care less and less about her. I can't tell if it's due to the writing or if her character is wearing thin but either way, I don't care for her as much as I used to.
There were some parts I didn't care for and found dull but overall, I loved it. Don't be put off by the bad reviews. Just make sure you don't expect it to move the same way to the previous three books as the pacing is very different. Keep that in mind and you should be fine.
