A Feast For Crows
''A Feast for Crows'' is the fourth of seven planned novels in the epic fantasy series '' A Song of Ice and Fire'' by American author George R. R. Martin. The novel was first published on October 17, 2005, in the United Kingdom, with a United States edition following on November 8, 2005. Because of its size, Martin and his publishers split the narrative of the still-unfinished manuscript for ''A Feast for Crows'' into two books. Rather than divide the text chronologically in half, Martin instead split the material by plot location, resulting in "two novels taking place simultaneously" with different casts of characters. ''A Feast for Crows'' was published months later, and focuses mainly on southern Westeros. The concurrent novel ''A Dance with Dragons'', which focuses on other locations such as the North, the Wall and Essos, was advertised for the following year, but was eventually released six years later in 2011.
