Rating: - A diverse and well-imagined world, but a frustrating read
"A Feast for Crows" is the fourth book in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. The War of the Five Kings appears to be almost at its end, with King Tommen and the Lannisters firmly in control of the Iron Throne, although the King's Hand, Lord Tywin, is dead and his son Tyrion has escaped imprisonment. It is a time of change in King's Landing; a time of political manoeuvring as Cersei consolidates her power as Queen Regent, albeit no longer able to rely on the unflinching support of ... Read More

Rating: - What happened?
I really don't know what to make of this book. Compared to the previous 4, I found it extremely disappointing and in fact I found it hard to read at times. Compared to the previous books where I was sometimes reading 5-10 chapters at a time, I could only manage to read one chapter before setting it down. There's virtually no action or gripping story lines until the last 150 pages, which for a book 850 pages long, is quite pathetic. The fact that Martin states that the next book will concentrate ...

Rating: - Slipping standards
The mixed reviews probably reflect the lack of direction seeping into George R.R. Martin's series. Whilst the standard of writing remains comfortably better than most of his competitors and the world of the Seven Kingdoms is well conceived and maintained, I'm afraid the standard has unequivocally dropped since the earlier novels.

In my opinion this is nothing to do with the writing; it is a lack of direction and sense of progression in the storyline. By the author's own admission "this ... Read More

Rating: - Not worth the wait
Well I have to say having been a huge fan of George R R Martin I couldn't wait for this book to be released. But it took that long that I had to re-read the previous books 3 times just to remember what happened, so when this book arrived and I was still left wanting in relation to half the characters I was not best pleased. I'm sure this could have all been forgiven however if the next book 'A Dance with Dragons had been released in fairly quick succession, but 18 months - 2 years later than the orginal ... Read More

Rating: - Careful scene setting or directionless-filler? 600 pages for you to decide
Want to know what happened to the major characters and plot threads in "Storm of Swords"? You won't find out here. Martin ignores Tyrion, Daenerys, and The Wall and gives us instead The Iron Islands, Dorne and Brienne wandering fruitlessly around after Sansa Stark. Plus lots and lots about Cersei in King's Landing. Unfortunately, the more he writes about the Bad Queen, the less-interesting she becomes, until finally we have a rather threadbare "wicked witch" stereotype. Beautiful but deadly... and deadly ...
