Thank Lawrence if this goes well (and remains fun) I will probably start another one as well!

Great idea, Jay! This actually tempting for me, I might pick up Feast later for a reread. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and more importantly reminding us what a truly great writer Martin is! We’re lucky to have him working in the genre, no matter how long it takes him to write each volume.

Yeah I think this is a pretty good idea, it is a shame I gave up last book

Thanks!

Not only that, but you get even more of the Iron Islands, the politics of the Vale, and even Brienne’s journey (which I found probably the most meh of the book) bring us to different places as well. We also see Darry. There are also significant character development (or rather revelation) in this book that I’ll get to when I get to those chapters.

Great idea! The thing I love about re-readings is that you often notice things that were overlooked int he first reading. I have yet to start re-reading ASOIAF (will wait a year or two) but I fx didn’t catch on to the disguised sandsnake in the prologue at all. What I really liked about Feast was that the reader finally get a glimpse of the South, of Oldtown and Dorne, which really intrigued me in the other books. Feast does feel rather disjointed and somewhat unfocused, and not only because of the multiplicity of locales but also because Martin uses far more POV’s than in the previous books.
Looking forward to your next installment.
