I have read severaql less-than-appreciative reviews of both "A Feast For Crows" and "A Dance With Dragons". As someone who fancies herself somewhat knowledgeable about literature, I have no idea where these criticisms come from. Full disclosure; I am not a big fan of fantasy, particularly the kind that drags on forever. That said, if anything, that would make me even more critical of George R.R. Martin's opus. Instead, he has created a rich, detailed, realistic (the characters speak and act completely realistically) and totally engrossing story that evolves from book to book. This installment is no different. It is expanding, adding lands, characters and going back to familiar characters. I cannot wait to see what happens next. The narrator (who lost his way with a few characters in the previous book) has found his footing again. Just wonderful. The day Mr. Martin ends the series will be a sad day, indeed.
