    I just finished A Dance with Dragons today. I liked it, but it's probably my least favorite of the five. It didn't have a sense of wholeness (does that make sense?) that the other books had. It felt sloppier, like it could have been shorter and I didn't feel that way about the other books.

    I'll still buy the next book but I hope it comes out sooner than five years from now.

    I agree.

    The next one will hopefully push foward.

    Rose LEslie has been cast as Ygritte! I think she has a good look for the part just have to wait and see if she can say "You know nothing Jon Snow" well :)

    She looks the part- GOT has done a great job casting the characters.

    I'm about 1/2 way thorugh the 4th book now. It has not grabbed me like the first 3, but not bad.

    She looks about what I imagined her to look! I likes! I hope she can say the line well also.

    I did see the grey's anatomy reference. I like that show too...It was funny.

    I'm about 300 pages into Book 5. I'm having trouble with it but it might be because I am just not in the reading mood right now. I made myself sit down and concentrate on the chapter I was on yesterday and I really enjoyed it.

    I'm almost done with book 2 and I have to say I'm really surprised at how big Theon's role is starting to get in the series. Didn't see that one coming...he's such a jerk too! I keep hoping that Asha is just going to put him out of his misery...

  • Need to read the newest book. Its been a few years since I read the others so I dont know how much I have forgotten. I do remember the bigger parts of what happens at the end of feast for crows. Seeing how I have 7 years till the next book not in a big rush to read the new one. The show looks pretty good ill pick up the dvds when they come out for sure.

    I so wish HBO released DVD's before chistmas like everyone else instead of waiting till before their show comes out :(

    New season teaser looked good.

    Can't wait to see the Night's Watch stuf that happens in book 2

    From what I have read, they have already told the crew to expect book 3 to be split into two seasons and shot back to back. Assuming season 3/4 gets green lit.

    I would assume they would then have to spread books 4 & 5 over at least 3 seasons as well.

    Hopefully that will give Martin some time to write at least book 6 :lol:
