My copy is on the way and I’m getting very nervous. After reading the first three incredible installments of A Song of Fire and Ice, and slogging my way through A Feast for Crows, I’d hoped A Dance with Dragons would move the plot forward. Alas, from reading the early reviews it seems I hoped in vain. So I guess this means I need to wait another 6-12 years for the next book. Crappola. I should receive A Dance with Dragons tomorrow and I’ll let you know what I think.
Dang it! It’s kind of like the way Diana Gabaldon’s stories became increasingly bogged down with minutiae as the Outlander series progressed - until the series reached the point where I could not read one more word, nor did I care that I could not read one more word. That’s bad, considering Outlander is one of my favorite books ever and Jamie Fraser is my favorite romance hero ever.

I hope it isn’t too awful.
I have not read any of the books…
Amber - it will be good, because he is a great writer, just not hellaciously good.
Savannah - his first three installments of the series are incredible. Best fantasy of this generation.
Haven’t read these yet-I’ve heard good things about the books and the TV series, and am thinking these might be right up DH’s alley. Please keep us posted
I hope A Dance with Dragons is wonderful and you’re right Outlander was perfect and should be cherished as it’s own experience.
XXOO Kat
Fedora - the books are great, the TV series amazing. Well worth your time.
Hi Kat! Yup. Wish I would have stopped at Outlander so that one book would be forever etched in my memory. It still is, for the most part, without the subsequent installments.
The first two books by Gabaldon but then it became more and more contrived with nearly every possible thing that could happen being written in.
Yeah, I agree, Steph - everything but the kitchen sink. Oh wait, I think there was a kitchen sink in there!
I haven’t read any of these books. Keep us posted.
