A Feast for Crows
von George R. R. Martin
"It seems too good to be true. After centuries of bitter strife and fatal treachery, the seven powers dividing the land have decimated one another into an uneasy truce. Or so it appears ... With the death of the monstrous King Joffrey, Cersei is ruling as regent in King's Landing. Robb Stark's demise has broken the back of the Northern rebels, and his siblings are scattered throughout the kingdom like seeds on barren soil. Few legitimate claims to the once desperately sought Iron Throne still exist--or they are held in hands too weak or too distant to wield them effectively. The war, which raged out of control for so long, has burned itself out. But as in the aftermath of any climactic struggle, it is not long before the survivors, outlaws, renegades, and carrion eaters start to gather, picking over the bones of the dead and fighting for the spoils of the soon-to-be dead. Now in the Seven Kingdoms, as the human crows assemble over a banquet of ashes, daring new plots and dangerous new alliances are formed, while surprising face--some familiar, others only just appearing--are seen emerging from an ominous twilight of past struggles and chaos to take up the challenges ahead. It is a time when the wise and the ambitious, the deceitful and the strong will acquire the skills, the power, and the magic to survive the stark and terrible times that lie before them. It is a time for nobles and commoners, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and sages to come together and stake their fortunes ... and their lives. For at a feast for crows, many are the guests--but only a few are the survivors"--Provided by publisher.

Es zieht sich ziemlich und ist in meinen Augen das schwächste „A Song of Ice and Fire“ Buch bisher. Die Geschichte konzentriert sich hauptsächlich auf die Figuren Sam, Jamie, Sansa, Brienne, Arya und Cersei, wobei ich nur die Kapitel aus der Sicht der beiden letzteren tatsächlich verlässlich spannend fand. Der Autor schreibt zwar selbst, dass er absichtlich nur die Hälfte der Figuren in dieses Buch aufgenommen hat, meiner Meinung nach war dies jedoch die deutlich schwächere Hälfte und ich hätte mich über ein wenig Abwechslung durch Jon Snow, Tyrion oder Danaerys zwischendurch mehr gefreut, als 800 Seiten durchzustehen um danach ein ganzes Buch aus ihrer Perspektive zu bekommen. Alles in allem trotzdem gut geschrieben und wie immer schön die Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten zur Serie herauszufinden.
This took me a <b>year to finish</b> but I'm finally free!!!!! I've been loving every single book in this series but this started off super slow that I kept putting it down for ONE YEAR until I decided a week ago that I wanted to finish this book and I'm so glad I did. About 45% in it kept getting better and better and I was <u>HOOKED</u>. The <b>cliffhangers</b> at the end of each character‘s POV, oh GRRM I hope I get at least a little bit of a closure in ADWD… I love Sansa's, Arya's and Jaime's chapters so much, I always look forward to reading their POVs so this was perfect but I did miss Jon SO MUCH!!! I can’t wait for A Dance With Dragons and see him again (although I know what will happen
I found this book quite boring compared to the previous one, basically because I only really enjoyed two of the perspectives (i.e. Jamie and Cersei). I found myself skimming some of the Brienne chapters as they were utterly boring. I have now started A Dance with Dragons and happy to report that I’m enjoying it a lot more, and I’m only 100 pages in!
