Few books have captivated the imagination and won the devotion and praise of readers and critics everywhere as has George R. R. Martin’s monumental epic cycle of high fantasy. Now, in A Feast for Crows, Martin delivers the long-awaited fourth book of his landmark series, as a kingdom torn asunder finds itself at last on the brink of peace...only to be launched on an even more terrifying course of destruction.
A Feast for Crows
It seems too good to be true. After centuries of bitter strife and fatal treachery, the seven powers dividing the land have decimated one another into an uneasy truce. Or so it appears....With the death of the monstrous King Joffrey, Cersei is ruling as regent in King’s Landing. Robb Stark’s demise has broken the back of the Northern rebels, and his siblings are scattered throughout the kingdom like seeds on barren soil. Few legitimate claims to the once desperately sought Iron Throne still exist—or they are held in hands too weak or too distant to wield them effectively. The war, which raged out of control for so long, has burned itself out.
But as in the aftermath of any climactic struggle, it is not long before the survivors, outlaws, renegades, and carrion eaters start to gather, picking over the bones of the dead and fighting for the spoils of the soon-to-be dead. Now in the Seven Kingdoms, as the human crows assemble over a banquet of ashes, daring new plots and dangerous new alliances are formed, while surprising faces—some familiar, others only just appearing—are seen emerging from an ominous twilight of past struggles and chaos to take up the challenges ahead.
It is a time when the wise and the ambitious, the deceitful and the strong will acquire the skills, the power, and the magic to survive the stark and terrible times that lie before them. It is a time for nobles and commoners, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and sages to come together and stake their fortunes...and their lives. For at a feast for crows, many are the guests—but only a few are the survivors.
George R.R. Martin sold his first story in 1971 and has been writing professionally ever since. He has written fantasy, horror, and science fiction, and for his sins spent ten years in Hollywood as a writer/producer, working on Twilight Zone, Beauty and the Beast, and various feature films and television pilots that were never made. In the mid 90s he returned to prose, his first love, and began work on his epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire. He has been in the Seven Kingdoms ever since. Whenever he's allowed to leave, he returns to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he lives with the lovely Parris, a big white dog called Mischa, and two cats named Augustus and Caligula who think they run the place.

对于初次接触这个宏大系列的读者来说,可能会觉得门槛略高,毕竟需要对前序的背景有所了解才能完全沉浸其中。然而,即便带着一些知识上的缺失进入,本书所展现的叙事张力依然是震撼的。它成功地将个体命运的悲剧性,放置在了更宏大的历史进程背景之下进行考察。我尤其留意了书中对于“忠诚的代价”这一主题的侧写。当一个人将生命托付给一个理念或一个人时,当这个理念或这个人开始腐烂、背叛时,那种精神上的崩塌远比肉体的伤害更为致命。书中描绘了数次信任的破灭,每一次都伴随着世界观的重塑。它没有提供廉价的希望或轻松的结局,而是以一种近乎冷酷的诚实,展示了世界运行的复杂与无情。这本书最终留给读者的,不是一个圆满的句号,而是一个充满张力的、需要读者自己去思考和填补的广阔空间。
评分说实话,一开始被如此庞大的人物群像压得有些喘不过气来,仿佛置身于一个拥挤不堪的古老集市,每个人都在用不同的方言低语着不为人知的心事。但这股“乱”中,却蕴含着一种令人着迷的秩序。作者对于地域文化的刻画入木三分,从风土人情的细微差别,到饮食习惯的差异,都构建了一个栩栩如生的世界观。我仿佛能闻到海边城市的咸湿空气,感受到北方严寒带来的骨骼深处的冷意。其中几条支线情节的推进,虽然节奏相对缓慢,但它们像是为整个宏大叙事铺设的坚实地基,看似无关紧要的日常琐事,最终汇集成一股不可逆转的洪流。特别是对某些女性角色的塑造,突破了传统英雄史诗的窠臼,她们的智慧、韧性与偶尔暴露出的脆弱,构成了一种复杂而动人的力量。她们不是依附于男性的附属品,而是凭借自身的头脑和意志,在残酷的环境中为自己赢得一席之地,这份坚韧令人肃然起敬。
评分这本厚重的卷帙,初捧在手时,那沉甸甸的分量就预示着一场漫长而艰深的旅程。我被卷入了错综复杂的政治漩涡,那些曾经以为稳固的权力结构,在此刻看来是何等脆弱不堪。书中对权谋的描绘,细腻得如同织锦上的每一根丝线,丝丝缕缕,紧紧缠绕,让人几乎窒息。高层的博弈,不仅仅是刀剑的碰撞,更多的是心计的较量,是声誉的倾轧。我尤其欣赏作者如何巧妙地平衡不同阵营的叙事视角,没有绝对的善恶,只有立场与生存的挣扎。一个人物的“正义”,在另一个人的剧本里可能就是滔天的罪孽。阅读过程中,我常常需要在脑海中迅速梳理人物关系网,生怕漏掉某个关键的暗示或一个微妙的眼神。那些宏大的战争场面固然引人入胜,但真正让我夜不能寐的,却是那些深夜密谋、暗箱操作的片段。每一次翻页,都像是在冰冷的石板路上行走,每一步都必须谨慎,因为你永远不知道脚下隐藏着的是陷阱还是转机。那种深入骨髓的现实感,使得虚构的世界也沾染了历史的厚重与人性的斑驳。
评分我必须指出,这本书的文本驾驭能力达到了令人咋舌的程度。作者的语言风格极其多样化,时而沉郁厚重,如同古老的史诗吟唱,充满了典故和象征意义;时而又变得尖锐、讽刺,对那些自以为是的统治阶层进行了毫不留情的剖析。书中对于“荣耀”与“责任”这两个概念的探讨,更是令人深思。不同的人对这两个词的理解截然不同,有人将其奉为圭臬,不惜一切代价去捍卫;而对另一些人来说,它们不过是愚昧的枷锁,需要被打破才能获得真正的自由。特别是对那些看似边缘化的群体,作者也给予了足够的篇幅去展现他们的生活哲学和世界观,他们的反抗或顺从,构成了对主流叙事的有力补充和挑战。每一次阅读,都能发现新的层次,就像剥洋葱一样,你总以为看到了核心,却发现后面还有更深层的意义等待挖掘。
评分这本书的节奏感处理得极其精妙,如同一个技艺高超的指挥家,时而让整个乐章如疾风骤雨般爆发,时而又将旋律拉入近乎静默的冥想之中。当我以为故事将要进入一个相对平稳的过渡期时,总有那么一个突如其来的变故,像投入平静湖面的石块,激起层层涟漪,将所有的宁静瞬间打破。这种悬念的设置,不是廉价的惊吓,而是一种基于逻辑推演的必然,让你在“怎么会这样”的惊愕中,又不得不承认“原来如此”的合理性。许多关键情节的转折点,都与角色的“选择”紧密相关,而这些选择往往是在极端的压力下做出的,充满了人性的灰色地带。你无法完全责备他们,因为你深知,在那个环境下,或许你也会做出同样充满瑕疵的决定。这种代入感,才是真正伟大的文学作品所能给予读者的回馈,它迫使我们审视自身的道德准则与生存哲学。
评分虽然觉得Dorne和Iron islands有点写的太多了,可是当最后他们都引向Daenerys的时候,惊叹之余有种酣畅淋漓的通快感。结局之时,Arya瞎了,Sansa成了Littlefiger的棋子,Brienne面临的绞刑,Jamie抛开了对Cersei的爱,Cersei被困在了圣堂,Sam来到了Citadel,Westeros的势力开始跟Daenerys汇合,悬而未解决的精彩
