(Spoilers for the previous four books in A Song of Ice and Fire are below).
A Feast For Crows, the fourth book in the Song of Ice and Fire series left the promise that its second half would be appearing around a year later. Oh how wrong that promise was, six years after A Feast For Crows was published A Dance With Dragons was finally released. With characters like Daenarys, Jon and Tyrion missing from the last book, fans of the series had to wait over eleven years to find out what happened to them next.
A Dance With Dragons is the missing half of A Feast For Crows. Martin divided these books in two, geographically. The northern and far eastern halves of Martin’s stories take center stage in this book.
A Dance With Dragons,
like its predecessor, focuses on looking inwards into the characters,
their motivations, their pasts, and their desires. There is more action
and violence in A Dance With Dragons than A Feast For Crows, but it
doesn’t reach the levels of violence seen in A Storm With Swords.
Ultimately this is a book that sets readers up perfectly for the final
two installments of the series, leaving people with more questions than
answers.
