CHAPTER LIST
This reading order is tailored to entertain both readers new to "A Feast for Crows" and "A Dance with Dragons" as well as veterans looking for a tweaked re-read. The story is kept in narrative chronological order, preserving Martin's original flow as much as possible; however, one chapter is placed out of the originally published order so that the mysteries from each storyline build upon each other rather than spoil them prematurely. Given these criteria, the chapter list was created with the intention of making as few changes as possible.
