A review by crowsandprose
A Dance with Dragons by George R.R. Martin

2.0

All I can think of is: "I waited six years, and this is what I got?"

Sorry, George. For six years effort -- during which you relaunched more Wild Card books, reprinted Fevre Dream, and merchandised the hell out of ASOI&F and got a TV show up and running -- we should have had a much better, tighter piece of work. This? This was not that work.

I don't know if I'll bother with the next one... providing it comes out before I turn forty. This was a huge disappointment. Hope you're looking forward to losing another Hugo next year!
