That doesn't mean Season 2 has been bad or that Book 2 is bad, it just doesn't hold quite the same surprising twists that 1 did. The books are the same way. Season 3 will return to the insanity, though.
Yeah, book two as a whole is largely setup. They've done a fantastic job at getting all the pieces in place this season, though, and from the preview, I'm really excited about the finale next weekend.

I enjoyed last night's episode in particular, because I thought it would be very difficult to balance the events between the battle and the women, but Martin did a fantastic job I thought. The pacing was excellent (the hour flew by for me) and the episode never got bogged down with Cersei's speechifying. And the battle itself was everything that the tournament and battle last season were not. All the fans of gore porn should be satisfied for a while now I'd say.
