However, this splitting was done in my opinion a bit unfortunate, at least what my personal favorite characters concerns this dive in the fourth part namely unfortunately not on. In plain language this means: No Tyrion Lannister, Jon Snow no, no Dany Targaryen and therefore no dragons. But for my taste it just the figures that make the series so interesting, and if it all suddenly disappear, come one the 976 pages of the book twice as long before. This is sometimes because the new POVs can not fill the gaps equivalent to them: to the evolving role of Brienne of Tarth it concerns with the newcomers in my eyes rather boring Nebencharakte so take as the unloved by me Greyjoys a much larger role than in the predecessors a.
With the somewhat pale characters I could live but if the story would not hinplätschern throughout the duration of extremely ponderous forward and to the lengthiness unspectacular second band A Clash of Kings still significantly outperforms. George RR Martin's writing style is still great, but after one has fought quite a chore but by again almost 1,000 pages, is necessary to establish more disillusioned that history has made further progress a step in the end. Especially compared to the dramatic climaxes of almost unsurpassable predecessor A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows one thing: boring. In addition, the author is the fourth book by far not as uncompromising as in the previous volumes, which ultimately affects the fact that almost no one dies, at least not important for the story characters. That may delighted fans of these figures, but the beloved trembling and fear for the lives of Favorites falls due hardly existing Action almost completely gone, and thus something much of the thrill. Thus, A Feast for Crows is unfortunately by far the weakest ever band of epic and ultimately raises the question of whether it would not have been a better decision to pack all the characters in the book and it may only tell half the story or consider breaking due to the uneventful story would ever have been necessary.
