So far my favorite book in the series. No punches were pulled and I am grateful for that. At first I absolutely hated certain things that happen in this book. Not because the actions were unbelievable or didn’t make sense within the storyline, but because I’d grown to really like certain characters and didn’t want “bad things” to happen to them. And lots of “bad things” do happen. To everybody. But that seems to be the theme with each of the books so far, right?

This was the book that really sealed it for me that things were happening in the story’s world that were immensely bigger than what was being portrayed, that Martin had only just begun to scratch the surface of what was really going on with the story.

As I’m writing this I’m about a third of the way through A Feast for Crows, book 4 out of a planned 7 in the series. Wow. So far this series has everything I loved about Lord of the Rings when I was a kid, but is written for adults. The story is epic, with the book portraying that even though the scale of the story being told is massive, things are happening in the world that are much larger. Love it.

Clearing out my Goodreads “currently reading” list, this was read a long time ago. Kel and I alternated reading this to the kids and the whole family loved it. A very touching story about “an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary face”, with characters that are very believable. The author does a great job switching perspectives between characters and giving their insight a voice.

Clearing out my Goodreads “currently reading” list, this was read a long time ago. Another that Kel and I switched off reading to the kids. I really enjoyed reading this and looked forward to when it was my turn to read to the kids. Brendan has some really big questions in his life and I thought the book did an excellent job in portraying them.
