FAIR WARNING.
A Feast for Crows follows some of the least likable characters in the entire series, i.e. Cersei and the Greyjoys. Jamie continues his character development, and we get a good round backstory on Brienne. But Feast of Crows does feel at points like a filler for the series, rounding out some of the finer points of GRRM's world building, especially in places we rarely saw but heard of in the first 3 books: Dorne and Oldtown, of note.
Speaking of Dorne, this was the best part of the book. In the TV show, Dorne's involvement in the politics of the Seven Kingdoms is pretty much eliminated. Adding the Martell family and the true power they wielded as one of the Seven Kingdoms and putting the Martell family on equal footing as the other liege lord families (Lannister, Stark, Tully, Arryn, Baratheon, Tyrell) adds another chess piece to the board that is the Game of Thrones.
Moderate: Torture, Incest, Murder, and Blood
Minor: Rape, Adult/minor relationship, Body horror, Child abuse, Child death, Confinement, Death, Pedophilia, Physical abuse, Sexual violence, and Sexual content
