*SPOILER ALERT!*
This is the fourth book in the series; read no further if you haven’t read the first three!

     After the deaths of several lords and ladies, including the various self-proclaimed “kings” and the real king, the Seven Kingdoms are thrown into even more chaos than before. People rise from the chaos to stake their claims, dividing the Seven Kingdoms into even smaller pieces than before the king’s death. In the fourth installment, A Feast For Crows by George R.R. Martin, tensions rise between families as truces are made and alliances are broken.
     This fast-paced book captures your attention as it launches into the continuation of the story from the past books, only now with more conflicts than before. Martin uses detailed descriptions to engage the senses and creates complex characters that make you think. Stories intertwine as characters you may have forgotten reappear to affect the story dramatically. And, of course, there is constant fear instilled in your heart after the last book that makes you afraid for your favorite characters’ lives. Martin’s writing captures your interest from the beginning and maintains its enthralling nature, making it a page-turner until the end — but leaves you wondering, “What’s next?”
