GAME OF THRONES: A NEW ORIGINAL SERIES, NOW ON HBO.
Few books have captivated the imagination and won the devotion and praise of readers and critics everywhere as has George R. R. Martin’s monumental epic cycle of high fantasy that began with A Game of Thrones. Now, in A Feast for Crows, Martin delivers the long-awaited fourth book of his landmark series, as a kingdom torn asunder finds itself at last on the brink of peace . . . only to be launched on an even more terrifying course of destruction.
A Feast for Crows
It seems too good to be true. After centuries of bitter strife and fatal treachery, the seven powers dividing the land have decimated one another into an uneasy truce. Or so it appears. . . . With the death of the monstrous King Joffrey, Cersei is ruling as regent in King’s Landing. Robb Stark’s demise has broken the back of the Northern rebels, and his siblings are scattered throughout the kingdom like seeds on barren soil. Few legitimate claims to the once desperately sought Iron Throne still exist—or they are held in hands too weak or too distant to wield them effectively. The war, which raged out of control for so long, has burned itself out.
But as in the aftermath of any climactic struggle, it is not long before the survivors, outlaws, renegades, and carrion eaters start to gather, picking over the bones of the dead and fighting for the spoils of the soon-to-be dead. Now in the Seven Kingdoms, as the human crows assemble over a banquet of ashes, daring new plots and dangerous new alliances are formed, while surprising faces—some familiar, others only just appearing—are seen emerging from an ominous twilight of past struggles and chaos to take up the challenges ahead.

The first thing you'll notice in this book is that the main characters (the POV characters) are in most cases not the series favorites. Calisi and her band of unsullied are mentioned in rumors in King's Landing but are never seen or heard of. Jon Snow is in the beginning of the novel but you don't hear anything about his troubles with Stannis and Melisandre at the wall. The main characters in this novel are Cersei, Jaime, Sansa/Alayne, Arya/Cat, Brienne, and some new characters you'll be introduced to who have a chapter here and there.
The story being told is a lot of politics and positioning which in truth is very akin to the "Game of Thrones" name but there isn't a lot of action. That's ok though since the story being told is needed for future novels. Just note that it does get a little dry sometimes.
Dotrice does a good job as always with the characters but I'm a little confused why he changed Arya's voice. She sounds like an old woman in this recording and it's a little off putting. Someone growing up noble born wouldn't talk like that, even if she was trying to hide her identity.
With all said though, it's a solid book but definitely not the best in the series.
The weakest of the series, but still a must read

I heard good things about his earlier narrations, but sadly I was very unimpressed. Name pronunciations were annoying, his women all sound like old crones or toothless hags, and most of the men who aren't Scottish highlanders, are straight-up pirates. I just can't finish it, although I listened to several chapters to give it a chance.
I wish the John Lee version was available here.
For now, it's back to Stoddard.
As for the book: it's the least great of the first five, but it's still GRRM, so it's still quite good by any other standard.:)
Table setting book, intolerable narration

What did you love best about A Feast for Crows?
Sadly, the best thing about Book 4, is only a continuation of the story. On the other hand, after Book 3, it would be hard to match that story! I hope this is a great lead-up to a fantastic and climatic ending (Book 7, when released, maybe 2016/7?).Have you listened to any of Roy Dotrice’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Mr. Dotrice continues his commanding performance.After Book 3...

What made the experience of listening to A Feast for Crows the most enjoyable?
A return to the Seven Kingdoms is always a pleasurable experience. I must say there were not as many enthralling storylines in Book 4 as in the previous books, and it dragged occasionally.Who was your favorite character and why?
Book 4 is not replete with my favorite characters. Most of the characters in Book 4 are flawed villains who deserve killing and of course get their just deserts.What about Roy Dotrice’s performance did you like?
The narrator of this series is simply masterful. He distinguishes between a multitude of characters flawlessly while at the same time adding depth and development.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Actually, if I were making a film of the entire saga, much of this Book 4 would likely be left on the cutting room floor.Any additional comments?
I am looking forward to Book 5.The Saga Continues
