Sara's reading log

I am a book hoarder and reader. My main genre is SF, but I also love magic realism, fantasy and general fiction. Favorite authors are Iain M. Banks, Ursula K. LeGuin, Haruki Murakami, José Saramago, Isaac Asimov, Ben Aaronovitch and more. My rating system is based on five stars. I rate books based on my expectations and what a books aims to be. This means that the brilliant 'Fahrenheit 451' gets five stars because I thought it would be good, people said it was good, and it was good, but 'A Closed and Common Orbit' also gets five stars because in its series, in its style, I really enjoyed it and was not disappointed.

A Feast for Crows by George R. R. Martin

Part four in the Song of Ice and Fire series. It all goes on in the same manner, only this book focuses on just half the characters/locations. I did miss some of my favorites (Jon Snow, Daenerys), but really liked (as much as you can like) the parts about Cersei and those about Dorne. The book has many surprising twists and turns, those on top are not secure, and those at the bottom needn’t stay there. I liked this book as much as the others, and continue to look forward to part 5. I guess I am lucky I just discovered the series and didn’t have to wait as long as most fans.
