“A Feast For Crows” by George R R Martin

A Feast for Crows was definitely more enjoyable than I had feared. Maybe, just maybe, the story was slightly more slow-paced than the first three? And looking back on it now, other than Cersei’s attempt to rid herself of Margaery and ending up caught in her own trap, the book as a whole did seem more as if were merely moving people into place in preparation for the real action to come. But I could be wrong. Knowing me, I’m probably just forgetting the real action already. 

Anyway I enjoyed it and I’m on to the fifth and final book of the series.

“A Storm of Swords” by George R R Martin

Still really into these books. I couldn’t remember when Joffrey’s wedding feast occurred in the timeline of the TV series, so I’d been eagerly awaiting that scene (while simultaneously dreading Edmure’s) ever since I began reading the series, and book three delivers both. 

On to number four!
