A Feast for Crows - Review

Image
A Feast for Crows (Book 4) feels very different from the first 3 books in the A Song of Ice & Fire series. Imagine if any book you read removed 3 of the most popular and main characters out of the book (Jon, Tyrion, & Daenerys) and made the most hated character in the story now the focus of the book (Cersei). If any other author did that for their book, it would fail and be a disaster. But…..George R.R. Martin somehow makes it work. This book has much less action and shocking twists but focuses more on the character development and world-building. The chapter structure is also different from the other 3 books because instead of having the normal 1 POV character telling a story in a certain location (e.g. Catelyn in the Riverlands), some of the locations follow several one-off POV characters (e.g. Arianne, Areo, & Arys in Dorne). This review will be non-spoilers and will be covered in 4 sections. Characters, Plot, Setting/World-Buildin
