A Feast for CrowsBy: George R. R. Martin
Reviewed by: Han Wang, Age 16
Rating: It was all right.
I'm hesitant to rate a Martin novel as just all right, because A Feast for Crows (AFFC) is well-written but a little stale. The main problem I have with AFFC is the book isn't the tiniest bit immersive.
One reason for its lack of readability is the introduction of chapters shining a spotlight on several new characters.
Noticeably absent from the list of POVs are any Jon, Tyrion, or Daenery chapters. The result of Martin's decision to hold off on telling the fate of fan favorites is a ridiculous amount of POVs that are book-closers instead of page-turners.
The plot barely progresses in addition to lacking climatic elements. Fans expecting resolution to the various cliff-hangers apparent by the end of the turbulent third book, A Storm of Swords, will surely be disappointed.
I would recommend this to: Followers of the series devoted enough to read the book instead of just reading the Wikipedia plot summaries.
