I wish Martin's editor would make him cut material because while the story overall is good he takes the long path every time and most times I'm not sure the journey is worth it. My biggest complaint is splitting books 4 and 5 into South and North as I really don't care much about what is going on in the South so I need to slog through another 500 pages to get to a book I want to read.Kevin Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092721842140433268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-77820904018794963392011-07-11T15:51:07.288-06:002011-07-11T15:51:07.288-06:00I've never read these.
