is 75% done
75% through A Feast for Crows and though it’s so different from the last book, it’s somehow even better. The battles are over, but the aftermath cuts deeper.
Faith turns fanatical, queens unravel, and knights wander through ashes seeking meaning.
Slower, sadder, wiser.
Martin shows that silence after war can be louder than war itself.

Halfway through A Feast for Crows and loving how the pace slows but the depth deepens.
The great battles are over, yet the real war within hearts, faith, and memory, has begun.
Brienne’s quiet honor, Cersei’s spiraling paranoia, and Arya’s eerie rebirth make this book feel intimate, tragic, and oddly beautiful. A different kind of storm, but just as fierce.

At a quarter in, A Feast for Crows feels slower yet richer. The North rests, while new arenas rise: Dorne, the Vale, and the Iron Islands burn with intrigue. Cersei spirals into paranoia, Brienne wanders in loyalty, Arya trains in shadows. It’s a book of aftermath and shifting power, less war, more masks. Subtle, but the storm is brewing.

Very well said. That's why reading novels set *after* a major war are often more dramatic and heart-rending than actual war stories. Super that you're still enjoying this very long series!

My first read through of the series I found this book to be my least favorite. On my latest reread I read books 4 and 5 together using the Feast for Dragons chapter order. It really made me love both books so much more, I highly recommend combining books 4 and 5 into one big read so you get all the characters:)
A change of POV's also gave a wider perspective and new flavors!
Thanks, Berengaria! You’re absolutely right, the aftermath often cuts deeper than the war itself. Just one more book to go for me, and then I’ll be caught up with everyone else waiting for book six!
Thanks for your comment, LambchoP! I’m reading all five books straight through, one big continuous read and it’s been an absolute blast!
Yup, Piggy Tarian, that’s exactly how I read it too!
