What started off as a really good story of a "Game Of Thrones" ends up being a meandering tale with a dozen storylines in far-off places that are almost impossible to follow.
By the time I read the last book...almost every character that started the first book was either dead or impossibly embroiled thousands of miles away.
The whole idea of a war for the "Throne" is entirely gone and is replaced with a bunch of stupid storylines that go nowhere.
I'm thinking that the writer really needs to pull everything back together in the next book or else the whole thing is gonna crash down under it's own weight.

There are more than a couple of authors who have commented on how after Storm of Swords (the current season on HBO) That George RR Martin only kept writing because his fans demanded it. You can really tell now that he doesnt give a shit about the series in his books. I also think he made it too complicated for himself which is part of the reason why it takes him forever to write. Its too bad really because the first 3 books were so epic. The latest book A Dance with Dragons was very hard to finish and while there were some good parts in it. You nailed it, most of it was just shit dragging on and not going anywhere.
There are 2 remaining books in this series and I am hoping they are done by 2030.
