I just keep crossing my fingers and waiting to hear that GRRM is releasing the last 2books at the same time. I have the feeling that I will be disappointed

I mean.. you do realize that roughly 400 pages were removed from Dance of Dragons because his editor said the book was too long right? meaning the first 400 or so pages of Winds of Winter were already written back in 2011. and now he just released the story of Aegon's two sons (and since 2011, he's released "The Rogue Prince", "The Princess and the Queen", "The Entire Fucking World History of Ice and Fire", and a giant full sized map book. am i missing anything?). I'm pretty sure GRRM hates his readers, and that he's just fucking with us on purpose at this point.

Feast was my least favorite on the first read through. on the second read through you appreciate it much more, and i think the main reason is because book 3 is action packed, and coming off of that into Feast is a giant massive change of pace that doesnt pick up or answer anything really from book 3. but there's a ton of shit going on in Feast, and i strongly suggest a reread or a re-listen to the books. After a reread, feast is easily my second or third favorite book of the series at this point. ESPECIALLY after knowing how badly the show fucked up Dorne and all of the Feast plots.

That's what I loved so much about you introducing us to Preston. His theory vids allowed me to reread the later books and love them. That's no small thing. <3

i know some of PJ's theories can be a tad wild, but he's bringing up things that I hadn't heard of before and supporting it with the book. i definitely don't agree with all of his logic, but after 6 years of waiting for the next book, its nice to see someone bringing new ideas to the table and not just parroting the same shit that everybody is.
