"What is dead May never die, profit rises again, harder and stronger."

After reading the first 3 volumes of ASOIAF and reading reviews on AFFC we will say that I did not begin on the right foot and actually this volume 4 is frustrating. The introduction of new characters could reinvigorate lon but can not seem to understand their usefulness: Areo Hotah and Arys (Chapter 1 each !!) and damage to Arianne (2 chapters) or final speech with Doran Martell portent of some thing dintéressant next to Dorne.
Regarding recurring persons:
- Sam really useless with a story that revolves around the bush
- The journey of Brienne with Pod: descriptions to no end ... but what a final chapter !!! GRRM saves the day on this one's (especially with the presence of my favorite characters, awesome)
- Sansa and Arya: grim and uninteresting on the whole

However, frustration sinstalle on the first part of the book to say this is a good 400 pages except my real heart of the plot to blow with Iron Islands between Victarion, Aeron, Euron "Crows eye" and Asha dailleurs one wonders why GRRM na no more developed characters. The 2nd part of the volume is more pleasant, lenchainement between Cersei and Jaime masterful that becomes increasingly crazy but the overall feeling remains that the book advocates the quantity rather than quality.

Craze for the saga that i made me read the first 3 volumes in original version quietly 6-7 months Feast for Crows laura was in 1 year. The latter is negatively incomparable to its predecessors and does not deserve a 5 star rating ... except for those who notice him in reading it.
