It's still a great series, and still worth reading, but IMO, the series seemed to have peaked with A Storm of Swords. Here is how I would rate the books:
A Game of Thrones = A+ A Clash of Kings = A A Storm of Swords = A+ A Feast for Crows = B- A Dance with Dragons = B-
I'm still a big fan but I hope Martin ups his game in future novels.
Oh man. Still looking forward to Dragons, but your review lowers my hope just a wee bit. Maybe GRR is overthinking too much and losing track of his own series.
I just hope that he doesn't completely lose track like Stephen King did with the Dark Tower books.
