By George R.R. Martin ISBN-13 : 978-0007548279 If this wasn’t the penultimate book written and I hadn’t enjoyed the TV series so much I would be giving up on the book series at this point. A Feast for Crows is boring and long winded. It’s full of a lot of unnecessary descriptive detail and while there are a few exciting moments, it just drags on. This is also where the TV series diverges the most. The vast majority of this book, especially what takes place in the Iron Islands, does not happen in the TV series and, I suspect, for good reason. If, like me, you want the achievement of having read the whole series then read this book and keep going. Otherwise find something enjoyable and interesting to read.
