Didn't take long for the hate to come out.
I'm only a quarter of the way through the book, and all I'll say is it was worth the wait.

I picked this up earlier in the week, but I have to wait till I finish the others to start on it. Currently reading A Storm of Swords and I think the series has been excellent so far.

Well, I finally finished it, after reading all the rest last month. This was the first series I'd ever read because non-geeks kept bugging me, asking if I'd read the book this Game of Thrones show was based on.
I enjoyed this volume, after liking book 1, being tepid on books 2 and 3, and being spectacularly unimpressed with book 4. I don't have much interest in the political scheming (a strange comment, I know), but I like the descriptions, the characterizations, and the fact that because the series is so drawn out, things can happen gradually, making changes in characters much more believable. Hopefully, things will continue to be fairly well-written from here on out.
But there are still questions to be answered!-
Will Martin ever stop introducing new plot threads and tie up a storyline for once? (I think probably not.)
Will he come up with a better ending than "and then everybody died?" (Again, probably not. For some reason, people seem to think such an ending would be meaningful.)
And if he doesn't, can he kill off the entire cast in only two more books? (At this point, the characters have him so outnumbered that, to paraphrase Sitting Bull, if he killed one for every sentence he wrote from now until his passing, he couldn't wipe them out.)
Find out in the next thrilling installment of A Song of Ice and Fire! Coming soon!*
