Finished ADWD yesterday, and I've been debating between numerous ways to express my thoughts regarding the book as a whole. So far, here are a few of the frontrunners:

1) "Um, okay."

2) "Sure...I guess."

3) "Well, at least it wasn't AFFC."

4) "Buh!" (accompanied by shrugged shoulders and hands held chest high, palms turned up)

I'm going to post more ( Read more... )

npr, adwd

5.) All beginning, no end?

I finished the book three days ago and I´m still confused.
First thought while reading some chapters was: Luckily ships don´t make me dizzy.
At first I thought I hated it, now not so much.
Pesci´s review was hilarious.

Probably the worst thing a writer can hear: his book was boring.

Well, I am now less interested in whether Martin finishes the series or not...if it takes another ten years, or even five for the next installment I will probably have lost interest by then.

The wait was for a sequel to ASOS, not AFFC, but it feels more like the latter and had little to none of the former that made me wait, and wait, and wait, with anticipation....that is no longer there :o(

I disagree about these books moving us nowhere. They don't go nowhere, they go backwards. Dany is back with the Dothraki, and her whole character has done a reset. Tyrion is back with Bronn (or his functional equivalent). In the last book, Catelyn was back from the dead and more annoying than ever.

In the next book, I fully expect Jon to wake up in Winterfell, go see his bastard father, and say "Dad, I had the strangest dream."
