Morienthar Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 A Feast For Crows it was bit slow and dull at times...Not what you would expect from a feast or crows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealbando Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I really enjoyed all the books, but if I were to choose the one that I enjoyed the least, that would probably be AFfC, which seemed to be a little slow, but it was still a great book.

TalalOfDorne Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Most people will say A Feast For Crows but recently I have come to regard it as one of the better books (second only to Storm of Swords). This is because of the change in prose style to a more contemplative, slower read - but with much more emphasis on theme and subtext. I mean, just re-read that kingsmoot chapter, it's a goddamned masterpiece.I just want to say that Im glad to see someone with almost the same view on Feast as mine own (Yes I said mine :P B) ). I think the fact that a lot of people waited 5 years for it and expected some action and not a post war arc. They might have also expected to see some of the main characters (Tyrion, Dany, Jon) POVs, but that didnt happen as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assjfjgjsgjljljglgjfjsduar Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I think it's pretty commonly agreed upon that Feast is the weakest so far, even though it does have its strong points.If Dance didn't have the northern arc, it would be the weakest to me. Likewise, if it didn't have the Meereen arc, it would be the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalalOfDorne Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 And how could I forget what is probably the MAIN reason why people might hate Feast. There are NO Catelyn POVs I guess Feast is the book where most people grieved for the fact that we will no longer get any POV chapters from one of the best characters in the series :P . I honestly had hopes for a Stoneheart POV when I read ASOS's Epilogue, but that didn't happen. Still think its the second best book so far.

The Pain Yak Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 AFFC suffers, for me, because of all the Ironborn. They're a culture of assholes and I don't really care which of these assholes comes out on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalalOfDorne Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 If Dance didn't have the northern arc, it would be the weakest to me. Likewise, if it didn't have the Meereen arc, it would be the best. :agree: Though I enjoyed the Northern arc (Particularly Theon) I have to say Meereen (and some other things) countered that powerfully and made it the weakest for me.

Faint Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 There are quite a few readers, myself included, who think A Feast for Crows is the best book in the series. The idea that there is common agreement about its merit is false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean that, by and large, it isn't cited as the weakest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoresbane Umber Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 DWD books 1, nothing happens except the slynt's death and it is mostly about daenerys and she is just so boring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolton333 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Funny most people seem to vote for AFfC as their least favorite. I used to think absolutely on the same lines, but after a reread I came to like it lots more, mainly because of the Cersei chapters.I came to hate her character, but these were wonderful chapters showing in full, how mad and unbalanced she really is (thinking it is everybody else who is an idiot, but not her, of course).Yes, I also missed my favorite characters, but now we know why.So I still think ASoS is my favorite. The least favorite? I don ' t know, every one has positive and negative points, as has been pointed out before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Nastja Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 While aFfC lacked some of my favourite POVs, I found the new ones interesting. Truthfully, not all of them were amazing, but some were intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King of Winters Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 AFFC. It was slow for me after reading ASOS (which is my favourite) so it was following that. It didn't have any of my favourite characters in, apart from Jaime, and I understand how the story is the aftermath of the Wo5K and showing the effects but I just found it slow and a bit boring at times.

King of the Wall Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 ADWD. Because... Dany. And Tyrion.It's hard to see the characters you like going through a hard phase, but I have hopes the two of them will come out even better than they were before.

Maxpey Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 AFFC. I understand it's importance as far as the overall story, but it seemed to lack the drama of the other books, especially the first three in the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Stark Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Feast would be my least favorite. It sucked the life out of me reading the iron born and dornish chapters. The arya and Jaimie bits were good though. Not a bad book but the worst in the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWalder Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 ADWD. This was one of my favorites until the appearance of fAegon and finding out Dany made no attempt to start towards Westeros. I thought the addition of fAegon was a little much. It was like- hey let's just bring in somebody thought to be dead and have another person trying to take the throne. It was like a aCoK story written by the Days of our Lives writers! It was like a freaking soap opera. I would have enjoyed fAegon's story line if he were brought in about 2 or 3 books earlier. Dany either needs to get her ass to Westeros or effing die. It's to the point of getting tiresome reading her chapters in Essos - more of the same. We don't need pointless POV chapters that have nothing to do with her main story arc - just to let the dragons grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
