- Start date
And take your time with it, TWOW won't be out till like Fall '14 at the earliest.
Check out The Kingkiller Chronicles if you want to stick with fantasy stuff. It's fuggin great and there's a tv deal with Fox to develop it into a show. The First Law series is really good too but sorta similar to ASOIAF/GoT, I didnt enjoy reading the first one immediately after A Dance with Dragons
but content stays the same
honestly the 4th book is utter shit. its mainly brienne in it. no daenerys, no tyrion, barely any jon snow. the only thing entertaining was aryas perspectives. the 4th and 5th book occur at the same time, theyre like half books. he said he wanted to tell all the story for half the characters, rather than half the story for all the characters with the 4th and 5th, so the 4th and 5th are basically just one massive massive book. the 5th book made up for them both i guess, but the 6th definitely isnt going to be done by the time hbo catches up. especially because i doubt hbo will take his bullshit 'rather tell half for all characters' bullshit and they'll tell the 4th and 5th concurrently, so hes got two, maybe 3 years max to finish his 6th before hbo catches up... i suspect he'll only have about 700 finished pages by then, and hbo will have to start making shit up. he'll be writing down hbo's episode summaries lol
a dance with dragons took him like 6 years, and the 6th is supposed to be twice as long, same with the final 7th book. he'll probably pull a robert jordan and die before its finished. if he didnt spend half of his 10,000 total pages describing what people ate, how they traveled, and telling the entire histories of hundreds of minor houses and characters going back a hundred generations and describing sexual acts with teen girls in pornographic detail we might get the 7th in the next 10 years

lol its seriously grueling. he leaves huge cliffhangers, then basically spends a quarter of the book describing brienne traveling around, what she ate, blahblah. spends half the entire book describing ser piggys boatride to old town, and turns cersei into a complete drunken idiot. then anything with lysa arryn and retard robert of the eyrie is like needles in your eyes. spends another quarter of the book describing bran going where he went. its so utterly grueling lol. when you break it down, each of those characters simply go from point A to point B. why do they need a couple hundred pages each to accomplish that? i swear that fat bastard gets off on torturing the reader. you get invested in all the characters in book 1 and 2, then he starts introducing an ass ton more characters and man. im complaining a lot but thats just my opinion lol. im on a dance with dragons again, my 2nd read through of all the books, and even daenerys' chapters are grueling in a dance with dragons. i bet that fat bastard george martin kills her off or something, the damn troll. the true azor ahai come again and true heir to the iron throne will end up being jon snow or some utterly ridiculous curveball. hopefully he doesnt vanilla everything down to white vs black, good vs evil, with a super all powerful magic hero nonsense like every single other fantasy writer does.
