A Feast For Crows

From the Wiki 
The War of the Five Kings is coming to an end. Robb Stark, Joffrey Baratheon, Renly Baratheon, and Balon Greyjoy are all dead, and King Stannis Baratheon has gone to the aid of the Wall, where Jon Snow has become Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. King Tommen Baratheon, Joffrey's eight year old brother, now rules in King's Landing under the watchful eye of his mother, the Queen Regent Cersei Lannister. Cersei's father Tywin is dead, murdered by his son Tyrion, who has fled the city. With these two men gone, as well as no longer having to deal with Joffrey's homicidal insanity, there are no more checks on Cersei and she is essentially Ruling Queen of the Seven Kingdoms in all but name. Cersei has betrayed many men to their deaths in her pursuit of power: her late husband Robert Baratheon, Eddard Stark, Robb Stark, and the many innocents she allowed to die by enabling the insane Joffrey. Now that Cersei finally stands at the height of power and her enemies are scattered to the winds, in a grim irony it quickly becomes clear that she is incapable of wielding the power she has killed so many to acquire, and she spirals into self-destruction.

This one got a lot of bad reviews, a lot of people thought this was boring and drawn out. I disagree, although I admit it wasn't as good as the previous books, I didn't find it boring. Perhaps I am a bit more patient than a lot of people? I do read a lot of different types of books, everywhere from the The Art of War, to war and peace. That could have a lot to do with it. I enjoyed this book, nonetheless.

As always, this book is not really for the kiddies, unless they are really mature! Lots of adult content, one of the reasons I read this series.
