I think the problem with AFFC and ADWD was that it took him ages to write them, and they still felt like he had barely edited them, but just published a rough draft at some point. They don't read like he spent 6 years working on them to make them perfect, but like he procrastinated for five years and then scribbled something in the last year.

I do think there are a lot of entitlement issues in this fandom (cause yeah, we all want the books to come out soon BUT DAMN, SOME PEOPLE) buuuuut I cannot deny having gotten this feeling, kinda. All together that's like 2000 pages of noooot a whole lot of plot moving forward. In the end it was mostly pieces getting put into place, characters going through shit, but like...on the overall front........not all that much actually happened. AND THEN THE LAST 100 PAGES WERE A LOT OF CLIFFHANGERS WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT A BUNCH OF YEARS TO GET RESOLVED YAAAAY (including one that happened at the end of FfC and then that character showed up for like a second in DwD with ABSOLUTELY NO EXPLANATION. WOW.)

No, I think the problem with AFFC and ADWD is one GRRM has already admitted: he was originally not going to write them at all, and just timeskip those years. And - to me at least - it really, really shows. Here's hoping the last two, that he was always going to write even before it became such a phenomenon, will be much better.
