A Feast For Crows
Sep. 12th, 2011 09:34 pmToday I finished reading A Feast For Crows and since I can't afford to buy A Dance With Dragons until it comes out in paperback, I am now officially out of Ice and Fire for the foreseeable future.
I feel kind of twitchy...
Anyway, my opinion of Feast seems to be identical to that of every person who has posted a review. It's the weakest in the series up to this point, but still far better than most of what's out there. And my complaints about it seem to match those of everyone else.
( They're not that spoilery but just in case... )
Complained more than I meant to there. It's a really good book, but it's clearly the "middle" of the series and very much a transitional point. I think I finally understand why GRRM's fans get so mad that he takes so long because his books leave you dying to find out what happens next.
Speaking of reviews and dying, I went to Facebook today only to find that the app where all my book reviews were posted has been closed down. I knew I should have backed them up here. I am quite pissed that all that stuff I wrote is just gone but there's nothing I can do. Lesson learned.
Now, what to read next. Do I restart The Wheel of Time from the beginning with the intent of finishing it or restart The Dark Tower with the intent of same?
Which shall it be, Slow Mutants or Trollocs? Lobstrosities or Grolm? Lud or Shadar Logoth? Demon-faced man in black who enjoys taunting the hero, who won't stay dead and seemingly exists across multiple realities or... demon-faced man in black who enjoys taunting the hero, who won't stay dead and seemingly exists across multiple realities?
