Product Description:
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. 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.

I am no where the writer George R.R. Martin has shown himself to be. But I am a reader who knows how to compare his works. The first two books were four to five stars, and number three was slightly less. A Feast for Crows continued the downward trend. GRRM got himself in a bind with the story and we ended up temporarily losing half of the characters and meeting a set of people the reader couldn't care about. Hopefully, this trend reverses itself quickly and substantially in the next book. A Dance ... Read More

This series was recommended to me by a friend and I fell in love with them. They're not always the happiest of books, but that keeps me guessing as Martin seems willing to part with some general fantasy norms. Definitely a good read.

If you're reading this, you're probably already a huge George R. R. Martin fan (if not, start with "A Game of Thrones", which is absolutely excellent) and you've heard some of the controversy surrounding this book's release, you're wondering whether to keep going with the series or hold off, etc.
First, I give credit where credit is due. Martin is still a Class-A writer; that hasn't changed. This is a riveting, emotionally taut book that, although quite a bit different in style from ... Read More

I am not going to argue - Feast is the weakest of the four books. I think almost every negative review makes fair points about it - the wordiness, the lack of action, the lack of characters we care about (yes, we know, they are returning in part V). I also think, comparing to good 90% of fantasy coming out these days, this book still feels strong, even if not like GoT/SoS/CoK.
There is plenty to enjoy within. The Kingsmoot makes all of Iron Isle chapters worthwhile. Jaime chapters, while not ... Read More

After devouring the first three books, I really had to push through this one. The story didn't flow as well as the first 3 books in the series. I don't know if it was the lack of so many characters I wanted to read about, or the fact that Martin is becoming a little long winded with his tale. But I just didn't enjoy this one as much as the others. I think I won't be picking up any more of the series until it is completely done. Mr. Martin is no spring chicken and not always in the best of health, ... Read More
