Feast of Vultures fb2 full version. George R.R. Martin always chooses the titles of his books very precisely.
Description
A Feast for Vultures is the fourth volume in the famous fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire. After its emotional, action-packed predecessor A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Vultures feels like a backwater or a respite. But this is the calm before something important and large-scale. In this book, new shoots of future confrontations and deadly battles are born. The author seems to give the opportunity to save energy for the further denouement, and don’t even doubt it – it will be very hot there!
The fourth part of the cycle is significantly different from the previous ones. Massive battles are left behind. Almost all the militant leaders were killed, the country was plunged into a state of devastation.
George Martin always chooses the titles of his books very accurately!
Vultures flocked to the royal corpse, hoping for a tasty morsel. But to rule the kingdom you need a strong hand, and alas, one cannot yet be found in the capital."Feast of Vultures" - First of all psychological novel! Therefore, many fans were disappointed with the slower pace of the author. The changed narrative style was regarded as a manifestation of a crisis of new ideas.
Before us is an already familiar living and cruel world, with bright and memorable characters who evoke a sincere emotional response in the reader’s hearts. The newly introduced heroes tell us about insidious multi-step intrigues. Of the already familiar characters, the author uses several people. This does not mean that the rest died, although such a move would not surprise us, the author simply kept the rest for the next book.
The first three volumes, despite the excessive activity and abundance of events, offered us static main characters. We studied their habits, character, worldview. The fourth book is almost the complete opposite. The characters unimaginably change their established views on the world, and these changes have logical consequences.
The feast of vultures has affected King's Landing, leaving the fates of Daenerys and Tyrioan shrouded in mysterious uncertainty. And Stannis and Jon Snow, like the entire north as a whole, will be mentioned only in passing.
George R.R. Martin invites readers to a moment of respite to peer into the souls of the survivors of the Storm of Swords. “Feast of Vultures” is leisurely, gloomy, dramatic. This book clearly portrays Westeros from a different angle. But devoted fans of the series will appreciate the book as it should be!
I was terribly tired reading the fourth book. Although I read it faster than everyone else (in 24 hours, I was traveling with it on the train, there was nowhere to go). Fatigue had accumulated since the third volume, but then it finally broke through. And I seem to like everything, and the characters are interesting, and there is movement, and development, and everything is somehow perceived through the stump of the deck. Yeah, a corpse. Yeah, zombies. Yeah, werewolves. Yeah, unknown clumsy crap. Well, well, what's next? Maybe it wasn't enough to dilute these characters with others. Maybe the point is that Martin named his fourth novel in the series too correctly, too accurately. The most natural “Feast of Vultures”, because everything has already rotted in this not at all Danish kingdom, and it itself is like a decaying corpse, which, nevertheless, is tormented and tormented, leaving bare bones and gaping wounds. It’s nice to see that Martin doesn’t stop working on the characters. It’s not so easy to guess where they will develop next, everything is like in life - yesterday’s bastard may turn out to be a cat, and the person you like can suddenly do something nasty and not repent at all. There is no justice at all, Martin teaches in the fourth volume. I was pleasantly surprised by the idea of a syncretic religion, which is represented by the cult of the Faceless One. In general, the idea always lies on the surface, it lies in our world, but for some reason so few people clearly realize that all manifestations of various religions are the same thing, and if God really exists (in the form of a character, pure energy, or simply karma, it doesn’t matter), then all the religious manifestations that a person can come up with are the essence of worshiping him, although they are expressed in completely different ways. In general, for some reason I really like the chapters about Braavos and the general charm of this fictional corner. I'm wrapping up. The fourth volume was just a stepping stone for me. And I will remain on it for a very long time, without starting that fifth.
Oh, I wish I had the elixir of immortality!
I would send it to Martin. Of course, every next book- pleasure, but I feel like a dark cloud is creeping onto my horizon: only two books have not been read! And then suffer, suffer, wait, languish for years! My withdrawal is familiar to every Martin drug addict: welcome to their ranks!
There are different opinions. For example, that the third book is the most interesting. Or the second one. Pfft! Stupidity. The most interesting one is the one you are reading now, it’s impossible to put it down!
So, "Feast of Vultures". Powerful, gloomy. It seems that more than once I fell asleep to the cries of vultures above my head, and almost every night - either in a quagmire or in a swamp, waking up from every rustle. Robbers, sparrows, enemies, and who knows who else are prowling Westeros. The world map has expanded significantly: the many-sided Braavos, the sultry and passionate Dorn, hiding the secrets of Oldtown... There is only one thing missing - pages!
How's Snow doing? Daenerys? Tyrion? Stannis? Even those who appear on the pages every other chapter: Arya, Cersei, Jaime - even about them I would like to know more, more, more!
I'm as insatiable as the vultures over the Seven Kingdoms. Spoiler alert. Cersei got what she deserved, I'm so glad!
A Song of Ice and Fire 04 I can’t imagine how people who have watched the first two seasons of “Game of Thrones” can calmly wait for the third, without even bothering to read in the original source what will happen next. There are three options: either they are so not interested in how it will all end (I don’t believe it), or they have not just willpower, but real strength (I envy), or they don’t like reading so much (mmmm... but here I’ll refrain from assessments of such characters). I'm wondering. Even more. Moreover, the further it goes, the more interesting the events become. The main intrigue of the fourth part is that Martin absolutely brazenly “forgets” about a good half of the key characters. No, they all seem to be alive (pah-pah-pah), but the reader will not be able to find out what will happen to them before in A Dance with Dragons. So suffer) But Martin pays due attention to those heroes who fit into this volume. Of the things I liked the most - this is Jaime (progressing by leaps and bounds despite the absence of an arm), Cersei (King's Landing through her eyes is something), Arya (that's a real little wolf cub), Baelish (in In France, he would be a great competitor to Richelieu), Brienne, Sam... It is difficult to choose the best and it is also difficult to determine whose role in these post-war events is less significant than the role of the other. I fundamentally disagree with the fact that “Feast of Vultures” is called boring. Yes, after "Storm of Swords" the pace has slowed down here. But two Blackwater and two “Bloody Weddings” in a row are bad manners. Good writer doesn't do that. I feel like Martin is clearly lying in wait somewhere, waiting for me to relax and stop expecting a trick. And then, right there, he will jump out of the bushes, make a bang-bang... And someone will obviously be that unlucky bunny. But who and when? We're waiting...
Before you is the fourth chronicle of the “Song of Ice and Fire” series. Powerful and gloomy in its concept, “The Feast of Vultures”, on the pages of which the cries of these terrible birds seem to come to life. Numerous bandits and enemies roam Westeros. The world map has become much wider: passionate and sultry Dorn, multifaceted Braavos, hiding many secrets of Oldtown... Only one thing is missing - the pages you have read!
This part is truly a feast for vultures. vultures that flock to Westeros, which has already begun to perish, and eager to tear off a tasty morsel for themselves. The main intrigue of the fourth part is that the author “forgot” about half of the main characters. They all seem to be alive, but you won’t find out soon what will happen to them. But Martin paid due attention to the heroes who fit into this story.
The War of the Five Kings is finally over, and House Lannister and its allies celebrate their victory. However, peace and tranquility are still a long way off! The Lord of the North, Robb of the House of Stark, managed to suppress the rebellion in the distant northern lands, but his relatives seem to be too weak to hold on to the conquered lands... Bandits, renegades and surviving rebels are gathering together again. The Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms is again in mortal danger - and the vultures can already smell the approach of a new feast... And the feast seems to be ending. However, the guests do not plan to leave: some continue to dance and have fun, while others lie with a broken head in a poisoned salad...
