Over half way through ADWD now. What a painstakingly awful read. 16 pages completely summed up by Stannis and his army marching north and it continues snowing. 15-20 pages in a Danys chapter amounting to a few dead people overnight and the slavers still pissed. 17 more Tyrion pages with a couple witty lines from him and they are still lost at sea.
After watching he first five seasons before reading the books I regret ever starting books 4-5. GRRM should have left writing lengthy tomes to Rand, Murakami, Proust, Cervantes, Tolstoy, etc. I can't think of another lengthy read that I have enjoyed less. This far in there is no choice but to finish.
