THE BOOK BEHIND THE FOURTH SEASON OF GAME OF THRONES, AN ORIGINAL SERIES NOW ON HBO.
 
Here is the fourth book in the landmark series that has redefined imaginative fiction and become a modern masterpiece.

A FEAST FOR CROWS
 
After centuries of bitter strife, the seven powers dividing the land have beaten one another into an uneasy truce. But it’s not long before the survivors, outlaws, renegades, and carrion eaters of the Seven Kingdoms gather. Now, 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—emerge from an ominous twilight of past struggles and chaos to take up the challenges of the terrible times ahead. Nobles and commoners, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and sages, are coming together to stake their fortunes . . . and their lives. For at a feast for crows, many are the guests—but only a few are the survivors.

      Long-awaited doesn't begin to describe this fourth installment in bestseller Martin's staggeringly epic Song of Ice and Fire. Speculation has run rampant since the previous entry, A Storm of Swords
      , appeared in 2000, and Feast
      teases at the important questions but offers few solid answers. As the book begins, Brienne of Tarth is looking for Lady Catelyn's daughters, Queen Cersei is losing her mind and Arya Stark is training with the Faceless Men of Braavos; all three wind up in cliffhangers that would do justice to any soap opera. Meanwhile, other familiar faces—notably Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister and Daenerys Targaryen—are glaringly absent though promised to return in book five. Martin's Web site explains that Feast
      and the forthcoming A Dance of Dragons
      were written as one book and split after they grew too big for one volume, and it shows. This is not Act I Scene 4 but Act II Scene 1, laying groundwork more than advancing the plot, and it sorely misses its other half. The slim pickings here are tasty, but in no way satisfying.

      This story, like other epic fantasies, has long-winded details that overload the listener. Names, titles, and places could further debilitate fans, since the audiobook lacks the appendices featured in the book. However, John Lee compensates for these challenges with a professional resilience that maintains continuity. Lee subtly indicates what passages are relevant and what parts are inconsequential. Characterizations remain steady throughout, and, since the first book, Lee has kept his vocal personalities distinct and consistent. As the fourth book in a six-book series, Martin sets up a variety of plots that provide excitement while priming his audience for an explosive conclusion. Lee 's performance drags you in deeper. L.E.
