Even though a lot of the Dany's chapters are quite trudging, I do really enjoy how much they expand the world. If there weren't intermittent glimpses across the narrow sea, the whole of Westeros would make for a much smaller feel to the world of the books. Her content definitely could be more compelling, though I must admit I am looking forward to how crushed all of the show Dany fanboys are going to be

Daeneris is just so annoying and his storyline is probably the worst, her chapters in a aDwD were boring filler.

I wish she had died and Viserys was the last Targaryen, that'd be fun.

I think they could cut out at least half of the characters in Dany's chapters, there are just sooooo many. And I admire her smart move with how she acquired the Unsullied but she needs to train her dragons.
I'm so curious about the next books.
Has there been any release date for the next one yet? I sincerely hope he is almost done.

I recall reading somewhere that he's optimistic for 2014 finish which means it would publish the next year

AFFC said at the end of it that ADWD was basically done because he wrote it all at the same time but it was too long for one book so he just divided it into two books, each covering a different set of PoV characters, intended to run side by side and if we weren't hearing about one of our favourite characters in AFFC then not to worry because he was about to release ADWD. That took like 8 years.

Yeah, people have made recommended re-reads for the books so that the stories are all parallel: http://boiledleather.com/post/24543217702/a-proposed-a-feast-for-crows-a-dance-with-dragons has a really nice list of chapters.

Wow that is really cool, I will definitely read it in that order whenever I reread the books before the next release.

I'd much rather have Tyrion on Tyrion's side than as a sidekick to a spoiled little girl.

The story is a bit of a mess with the overwhelming number characters so far apart and removed from one another as exist in 4-5. I thought it was a great idea too originally, and I see the appeal, but reading them normal is probably better.

Here it is put in that order for you (the Dorne reveal intact, Gilly reveal intact, and back-to-back chapters of the same area/people smoothed out variant IIRC)

...and this is why you always tell someone the wrong answer if they ask what the last word in the Dance prologue is. Not that it isn't surely posted somewhere or numerous places anyway.

The POV characters are too complex to be able to focus on 9-10 at once in AFFC. I like the split, focusing more on the Kings Landing situation and how it's unfolding as well as telling the story of Sam and Brienne after the clashes in ASOS. The books are alright. Danny is trying her hand at politics (think Robert in AGOT) and learns from it. She's naive and has to learn how to govern a land. Just having her conquer for the sake of ruling is what we see in Tywin. As the books progress she's becoming more mature. Just like Little Finger (Lord Petyr of Harrenhall and Protector of the Vale with Sansa Stark, heir to Winterfell by his side) has risen from his post as master of coin in the first book. For my money the Dothraki chapters in book one are a snooze - but to each his own.

Just a random thing but I had a nightmare about the red wedding combined with the Carrie movie/book bucket scene, with Robb getting a bucket of blood on him before everyone getting slaughtered. Really hoping that we will get a powerful scene for the TV-show.

Wow, just watching those GoT episodes now - I can't believe Littlefinger let Joffrey do that to Ros! And poor Theon. Also the Dany scenes are done much better than I expected.

Actually, that was far less gruesome than I was expecting. From the way everyone went on about the torture scenes with Theon I was expecting them to take up most of the episodes and be fairly graphic. Still, unpleasant.

Sansa is a lot more likeable this episode.

Edit: I feel terrible for this version of Sansa.
