Storm of swords is the best one so far, I am almost done with it. Obviously I haven't read the ones after but so far its been great

Storm of Swords is the peak, for sure. Feast meandered it's way through boring ass plot lines and Dance did much the same albeit with more interesting characters.

I will again recommend the "Ball of Beasts" download for dealing with Feast and Dance
http://ballofbeasts.weebly.com/ It combines the two books back into a single story and re-arranges the chapters into a common chronology so you're not left bouncing around. Martin screwed that whole affair up something awful. This rearrangement makes both of those books substantially better.

I have legitimate fears that Martin has lost control of the series.
As much as people deride DD's adaptation since Season 5... I really didn't enjoy Feast and Dance too much, and DD's condensing of major storylines has mostly worked to achieve a more enjoyable story. I'm not saying they'll stick the landing, and there are definite reasons to be concerned ("bad poosey", etc), but they may very well provide the only ending to the universe GRRM created, and they've given me reason to trust their direction with the series.

He doesn't even appear to be trying at this point. I wanted to be a loyal, militant book reader and make sure not to allow the television series to spoil things but for ****'s sake, you give the guy a 5 year window with a 2 year grace period and he'll STILL miss. Wanna bet we don't see Winds of Winter in '17 either?

IMO GRRM will die long before he finishes the story making the TV show the canon people remember making the latter books pointless.
