I Finished Reading The 5 Books of "A Song of Ice and Fire" -- No Spoilers

[Yavin4]

I read all 5 in two months. I won't give my final opinion of the series until the last two books are released. I will say that the first three books are the strongest of the series. Book 4, "A Feast for Crows" is the weakest, and Book 5, "A Dance with Dragons" is better than Book 4, it's not nearly as strong as the first three.

My biggest gripe with Book 4 is the pov chapters. In the first three, GRRM limited the pov chapters to key characters. In Book 4, he gave random characters pov chapters which demean their value. My fear is that GRRM is losing control of his narrative.
