I'm halfway through Feast For Crows and I find myself skimming this person's chapters because they are so boring. On the upside on character that I hated in book one is slowly starting to grow on me. Damn, though there have been so many deaths of people I like. The one at the end of book 3 made me want to scream. I, do have one question. Where the hell is Daenerys? She's my favorite character and she hasn't shown up in the book yet, but there is a lot of foreshadowing about her. At least, Araya is in the book and still awesome.
