Feast had a few cool scenes and was again very well-written, but I thought it marked the first misstep in the series. In 700-plus pages, Martin failed to advance the action to any significant degree.In short, if we had waited 5 years for another Game of Thrones, Clash of Kings, or Storm of Swords, I wouldn't be posting in this thread. But, at least in my opinion, that's not what Martin delivered. I'm going to read the series to its conclusion with the highest hopes, but after A Feast for Crows I'm a bit concerned about the omnipresent danger of series bloat that seems to afflict so many fantasy writers these days.</blockquote>
