The New Death and Others by James Hutchings

This book was very different from anything I've read lately, it was a fresh breath of humour, sarcasm and irony that I truly enjoyed.

It consists of a lot of short stories and a few poems. I especially loved the stories that were bigger cause all the others were over too soon and I wanted more. This is one of the most unique books I've ever read and had me laughing at most of the times. I am a very ironic person and love to read about ironic characters when I get the chance, but this book was full of irony and sarcasm I think I took a good dose of it for the next few months. Surprisingly I even found myself enjoying the poems, sometimes even more than the stories, I say surprisingly cause I hate poems...

If you need something to make you laugh and light up your mood this is the book for you.

With A Feast for Crows, Martin delivers the long-awaited fourth volume of the landmark series that has redefined imaginative fiction and stands as a modern masterpiece in the making.

After centuries of bitter strife, the seven powers dividing the land have beaten one another into an uneasy truce. But it's not long before the survivors, outlaws, renegades, and carrion eaters of the Seven Kingdoms gather. Now, 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—emerge from an ominous twilight of past struggles and chaos to take up the challenges of the terrible times ahead. Nobles and commoners, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and sages, are coming together to stake their fortunes...and their lives. For at a feast for crows, many are the guests—but only a few are the survivors.
