Book: A Feast for Crows

Book 4 in the Game of Thrones series. Loved it, although it was hard not knowing what happened to the other characters, most of whom show up in A Dance With Dragons.

Book: Dead Things

Dead ThingsDead Things by Matt Darst

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Wish I could give this 3.5 stars. For what it was, Dead Things was actually pretty good. Had a decent storyline with only a few cliches here and there, interesting characters, and fairly indiscriminate about who bit the dust. There were a few mistakes that a decent copyeditor would have caught, and the climax was pretty improbable, even for a zombie book. Also, I wish that some novel in which main characters hook up would NOT end with a freaking babe in arms (Suzanne Collins, I'm looking at you). Throw a bone to the childfree, will you?
