Summary

A Feast for Crows: A Song of Ice and Fire: Book 4 by George R.R. Martin is the fourth book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. Cersei Lannister is surrounded by people in her court she does not trust. Her father is dead and she has been cheated by her two brothers. She is constantly worrying about the life of her young king-Tommen who is her son. She is overwhelmed by fear and makes questionable decisions and disreputable alliances. Jamie Lannister the once feared and famous knight now finds himself without a sword hand and as the head of guard for King Tommen. Jamie and Cersei are thinking differently. While Cersei’s thoughts are filled with secrets and deceits, Jamie’s thoughts are full of the bravery of the tales of knights and of valor.

Jamie requests the Brienne of Tarth to search for Sansa Stark who may be the last remaining child of Eddard Stark and Catelyn Tully. Brienne travels across the Westeros in search of Sansa. Sansa and Arya Stark the daughters of Eddard Stark are living in opposite sides of the world. Sansa is living in Eeryie as the illegitimate daughter of Petyr Baelish while Arya is in Bravoos, learning the ways of the Many-Faced God.

The appearance of Samwell Tarly of the Night’s watch is also an interesting part of the novel. These chapters along with the chapters on Arya Stark are some of the best part of the novel.

Review

A Feast for Crows: A Song of Ice and Fire: Book 4 by George R.R. Martin received mixed response from the critics and readers. It debuted at number one on the New York Times Bestseller List which is a rare feat. However, readers and critics feel that this is their least favorite book of the series. Many important characters are missing in this novel and the storytelling sometimes feels repetitive. However, the novel does take the story forward and sets it up for the next installment of the series. It is evident that Martin’s less than best is still entertaining and rewarding to read. The fans of the series should definitely read the book.

  • I absolutely enjoyed the first three books in the series, especially with Dotrice as the narrator. However, I almost had to stop listening when Arya and Danni were given different voices in this book - oh my goodness! Now they sound like elderly crones. Additionally, it's quite frustrating that the pronunciations for several characters are incorrect. In terms of the storyline, this book is the least captivating in the series, mainly due to the abundance of new characters with minor connections. But the real issue lies with the narrator, who really needs to return to voicing Arya and Danni as young women, not old hags.
  • The character voices in this audiobook are completely off. Especially Sam and Arya, which really gets on my nerves. It's seriously irritating and makes me question whether I'll even finish this fourth book. I really wish I had known about this before purchasing it.
  • I've just started listening to this book, and it's meeting all my expectations (which were pretty high, considering the previous three). There's also been a good amount of witty humor so far, which I'm enjoying. However, I have to say, has Roy Dotrice lost his mind? He's been pronouncing the names of a few characters inconsistently! In just 20 minutes, he's gone from saying "Cat-uh-lin" (like in his previous readings) to "Kate-lin" for Catelyn. And don't even get me started on how he's mispronouncing Brienne, especially after her repeated statement to Jaime: "My name is Brienne!" I wouldn't even think about listening to this series narrated by anyone else, but seriously Roy, what's happening here?
  • Let me start by saying that I haven't even started listening to this version yet (which is narrated by the fantastic Roy Dotrice, the only person who should ever narrate this series). However, I did use two credits to purchase an audiobook that I already own. Why, you may ask? Well, the truth is that I found John Lee's narration of A Feast for Crows (no offense to him, as I enjoy his narration in other books and series) to be quite disappointing. In my mind, I wanted to hear the characters' voices and the names and places pronounced "correctly," as Roy Dotrice had done previously. Now, let me make it clear that the entire series is absolutely amazing, and I highly recommend all of the books (especially when narrated by Roy Dotrice). I cannot wait for the conclusion of the series - I am eagerly anticipating it! So, please don't let the price of two credits discourage you. In my humble opinion, it is still a reasonable price considering the quality of the literature.
