A Feast for Crows·读后
【2023年的第五本书】《冰与火之歌》卷四——《A Feast for Crows》（群鸦的盛宴）。b站的一些视频提到很多人觉得这一卷不如前三卷精彩，我觉得并不是。马丁老爷子在这一卷挖了无数的新坑，很多没有在这一卷出现的POV人物也草蛇灰线地留下了伏笔。都说好的作品是跌宕起伏的，那么这一卷大概就是属于“伏”的那一部分，读起来值得玩味的地方还挺多的。《冰与火之歌》看了大半年了，最近总是会想到那句著名的“要爱具体的人”。个人感觉，冰火世界里，是否爱着具体的人，是作者划分人物的一个主要分水岭。那些执着于权力或者是荣誉，却不爱某个切实生命的人，似乎都或多或少的邪恶、可恨、可鄙或可悲。相反，例如瑟曦这个角色，你可以说她蠢，也可以说她坏事做绝，但是似乎不能说她邪恶或可恨，因为她对詹姆和孩子们有着炽烈的感情。值得品评的是每一个具体的人，而不是以某个阵营而论，冰火最大的魅力莫过于此吧。
【2023Book05】"A Feast for Crows," the fourth volume of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series. Some videos mentioned that many people feel this volume is not as exciting as the previous three volumes, but I don't see it this way. In this volume, George R.R. Martin has created numerous new plotlines, and many POV characters who do not appear in this volume are subtly foreshadowed. It is said that a good story has its ups and downs, so this volume is probably the "down" part, and its foreshadowings are still very intriguing. I have been reading "A Song of Ice and Fire" for over half a year now, and recently I keep thinking that someone wise used to say, "We should love specific people instead of abstract ones." In my personal opinion, in the world of Ice and Fire, whether one loves specific individuals or not is a major dividing line for the author's characterization of the characters. Those who are obsessed with power or honor but do not love specific people seem to be somewhat evil, detestable, contemptible, or miserable. On the other hand, take Cersei Lannister, for example. You can say she is foolish or she does bad things, but you can't quite say she is evil or detestable because she has intense emotions for Jaime and her children. Characters are loved or hated because of what they did, rather than which House they belong to. This is perhaps one of the greatest charms of "A Song of Ice and Fire."
