The War of Five Kings has ended. Joffrey is dead. His brother Tommen has ascendded the Iron Throne. Stannis Baratheon, in desperation after his crushing defeat at Blackwater Bay, sets his sights on a colder target, one that will supply all of his needs for a second strike for the Iron Throne. Meanwhile, up at The Wall, Samwell Tarly, Sworn Brother of the Night's Watch, receives a mission to travel to Oldtown, far to the south, to begin his training as a Maester. With Balon Greyjoy's death as the last Iron King, an historic event is taking place: the Kingsmoot, the legendary gathering that will decide the next Iron King. Far to the south, in the desert kingdom of Dorne, unrest is spreading. Arianne Martell, Princess of Dorne, has hatched a daring plan to crown Princess Myrcella Baratheon, sister of King Tommen, as Queen of the Seven Kingdoms in order to ignite civil war between siblings. Filled with war, lust, plots and counterplots, A Feast for Crows is truly a feast for the mind.
A Feast for Crows is a truly great book, filled with twisting story arcs and complex characters. Martin challenges the reader to keep up with it's fast-paced chapters. In this book, the reader takes a 'break' from the usual set of characters and are introduced to a whole new group.
