A Feast For Crows
(George RR Martin)
The fourth book in the 'A Song of Ice and Fire'
fantasy series by George RR Martin looks more like the first part of
ACT II rather than the fourth book in ACT I, because the story lays the
groundwork for the more important upcoming books in the series. Jon
Snow, Tyrion Lannister and Daenerys Targaryen are conspicuously absent
in this series and are set to return in the next part.
The first stage in 'A Feast for Crows' is set at a point when the seven
powers dividing the land, after their bitter battle have reached an
uneasy truce.King Joffrey is dead and Queen Cersei has taken over the
reigns.After the death of Robb Stark, his siblings scatter all over
through the kingdom; thus weakening the once vociferous claim to Iron
throne. The claimants seem too weak to effectively weild their power.
A pefect title to describe what happens next. The spoils of the war
that has decimated everything, is a scavenger's feast. The survivors of
the war, along with the outlaws and renegades start fighting again over
the spoils of the already dead kingdoms.This war leads to the formation
of dangerous new alliances and exciting and daring new plots to take up
the challenges ahead.
The rest of the story is the struggle between the deceit, power and
magic and the nobility of the sages, sorcerers,soldiers and commoners
to preserve their fortunes and their lives.
A Final Word: One thing that stands out in the book is that it brings
out the goodness in the Evil; to show they are just as good as the good
are. A considerable length of the novel with the Queen and Jamie
reinforces this point.All in all, a must read for the fans of the Ice
and Fire fans. Plot, though not as invigorating as the previous book in
the series, lays the foundation for the better part of the series to
follow.
