A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

Coming out on the 21st.

I've pretty much given up on giving a fuck about this series. Given the length to release ADWD, combined with the overall quality of the release, I'm not really convinced that he has any fucking idea where he's going with this series. I'm basically expecting him to die and for them to find a cluster fuck of notes that basically all end in 'and then ?????'.

Pretty much, the last book consisted of a great deal of padding (I'm looking at you especially Jon and Danny) to stall up until the last chapter of each PoV. It got to be a bit ridiculous reading through realizing that yes, nearly every character is going to end the book on a quasi cliffhanger or transition and no, nothing much of interest is going to happen (with some exceptions) until the last chapter of each PoV... see you in a few years! That said there were some things to enjoy, namely the chapters that were obviously written several years before the more recent ones.

Sort of an over the top response to a barely controversial position. I'm not sure if I've met anyone who considers ADWD to be a strong point in the series. Good slam regarding Drizzt, though. I'll remember it for next time I see someone neckbeard enough at Barnes and Noble to get the reference.

It wasn't as bad as people credit it for. If it wasn't for the huge lag between books I don't think people would have the negative opinion that they do, for the most part. I mean, it was a good book and advanced the story well. It jut wasn't really worth the 5 year wait plus a 5 year wait after, I think. People wanted more and expected more and when they got what they got it was disappointing and that turned toward vitriol. Unjust vitriol.

I enjoyed it.. tough to top Book 3 + 4 though

Is there anyone who actually said that?

There's a good chance the next book or any other book he ever writes isn't going to be as good as A Storm of Swords.

I was hoping that the HBO series would expedite the writing process, but it hasn't seemed to be the case at all.
