Hello all, new to the thread. I just finished book 3 and wanted some advice. I have heard a dance with dragons and a feast for crows happen at the same time. After looking at the POV chapters, I think I would prefer a dance with dragons. Is it alright if I read that one first? Or should I just read it in sequential order? Thanks

I wouldn't skip Feast. There is a combined read that you can do AFFC/ADWD combined reading. But a lot of seasoned readers will recommend that you read AFFC and ADWD as written and to do the Boiled Leather combo as a reread.

I would definitely not recommend doing the mixed read on the first read through. There are a lot of purposeful vagaries in AFFC that would be ruined by reading the story out of order. You are supposed to not know a few things going into ADWD, and it makes the read more enjoyable. Once you know what happens, then the mixed read helps a lot because the surprise aspect is no longer possible.
