This book didn’t have nearly as much action as the previous ones.  It was a lot more of the plotting and talking.  There were some exciting moments with Brienne, but all the waring and excitement on the wall was missing.  I was hoping that there would be more of the ‘crows’ since it was A Feast of Crows, but alas, that did not pan out.  I am going to keep going with book 5 and see if that makes up for it.  I hope we get more action and movement.  This book had a lot more of the magic coming into the world, and winter has come.  However, the magic is mainly hints.  I am very interested in Aria and John Snow’s stories.  The other stories going on are OK, with Brienne’s being the best of the remainder.  I did like what came about with Queen Cercei.  She was in such a good place, but all it took was the one slip.  Since no one liked her there was no safety net should a single thing go wrong.
