GOD DAMN YOU GEORGE R R Martin! I want the last four months of reading back. So much of the story is now pointless. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THAT GUY?

Eh.. I liked them. My only gripe was how boring many of the Dany chapters were.

yeah, if they'd cut all the boring poop from the show, they could make a good 2 hour movie out of it :P

I mostly liked them, but he kept killing people off without any rhyme or reason. He spent countless words building up a character and then kills them without any build up to the killing. Just oh, story getting good - you are dead from something unrelated to the good story.

Don't forget that he could have cut at least 200 pages out of the last book by not describing in detail every damn meal a person ate. I don't need a 4 page list of food laid out on the table, thank you very much.

He is a little chubby so I can see why he goes for the food description.

Jon Snow probably isn't permanently gone. Most people think that Jon warged into Ghost before he died, and Melisandre is going to resurrect his body like Thoros did to Beric Dondorrian and Catelyn/Lady Stoneheart, and how whatshisname did to Gregor Clegane (assumed, not confirmed at this point).

I'm still glad I quit halfway through the third book
like a character? they'll die
hate a storyline? it'll drag on forever
forget who is who? doesn't matter, they'll die

not sure about Gregor Clegane but yeah, Martin himself would not confirm whether Jon was truly dead or alive. I agree with you, I think he did warg into Ghost and may find some way to be resurrected.

I realize now I do not fear death. I fear my daughter will not be free when I die.

I loved the first two books, genuinely thought it was the best fantasy series I have ever read. Every new installment gets progressively more tedious and because of the utterly stupid time between books im forced to reread the entire series each time, think im officially done now.
Maybe I will pick them up again when(if) the series is ever completed.
