    Books jumped the shark, show seems to be getting ready to jump

    will still be watching for sweet Mellisandre tits

    huh?
    A Feast for Crows and a Dance with Dragons SUCKED. badly.

    and he will never finish the 6th one


    first 3 books are the GOAT though

    The story grew in scope.

    This is the problem. It grew way to fucking large in scope, and Martin couldn't reel it back in. Endless pages wasted on characters no one cares about. Brienne wandering around aimlessly for 300 pages looking for a highborn girl with auburn hair is hours of my life ill never get back.

    He needed a good editor to tell him to cut the BS and move the plot forward. It's all moot though, because he's lost interest in even writing them. First 3 books in 5 years, next 2 (which are really just one, convoluted, cluster fuck of a book) took 15.

    Dont even get me started on ADwD...Young Griff, are you fucking kidding me? Quentin Martell? Dany spending too much time in fucking Mereen....get on with it George.

    I forgive the man though, because A Storm of Swords is the best book I've ever read.

    Until it wraps up, I won't judge the long boring stretches. Some of those details end up mattering.

    First time I read the books, I totally missed the importance of Ned's flashbacks. Seemed like filler at the time, just trying to show us how fucked up he was. And Bran's vision shit with the raven was boring too. But now we know it was all going somewhere.

    So until it turns out that those pages didn't matter, I'll assume they are setting something up or somehow meaningful.

    Agree that ASoS is probably the best book ever written.

    I'm just amazed that internet tuff guys like @PostGameOrangeSlices and @ThomasFremont can put aside their masculinity and hash out the finer intricacies of GoT.

    Book 4 sucked. Book 5 was ok. Book 3 GOAT.

    I need more Aria in my life. To me, that is the most exciting storyline I want to see develop.
