Thoughts on A Feast for Crows
THERE WILL BE SPOILERS
I liked the book, though less than I've liked some of the others. I would put it a little below Game of Thrones, which is my least favorite, but frankly, Martin's bringing the goods so you know it'll be SOLID anyway. Too many things had a feeling of "telling" instead of "showing" though. Like Ser Loras's hilarious Dragonstone blooper reel.
It was fun watching Cersei make utterly ridiculous moves at every turn. At some point where she's telling everyone to ignore Braavosi creditors and Qyburn is puttering about under her nose and Gyles is bloodspitting left and right and she lets the sparrows rearm just so they'll say they like Tommen, you realize what a masterfull clusterfuck she has orchestrated. Given this and the fact that all her schemes seem to revolve around making it appear like people are fucking in strange configurations, she is a recipe for dark hilarity. Also, the drinking, weight gain and ineffectual fingers pretty much mean she's turning into Robert. And she and Margaery are both so screwed now...
...unless ZOMBIE GREGOR gets named to the Kingsguard or something.
Man, zombieCat sure did, to quote Human, "Fuck up Dondarrion's hug-fest." Lem Lemoncloak is like an insane rapist or something now. Speaking of, everybody Brienne met tried to rape her. And then BITER CHEWS HER FACE OFF. Good GOD man she has ENOUGH PROBLEMS. She's so not dead though. Bonus points for teaming her up with Podrick.
Hopefully Arya, though monstrous fucked-up, is not entirely blind.
Sam gets some, woo!
oh, and the Hound is so NOT dead it's wonderful!
