You're not alone with the Brienne thing. I didn't mind it, but compared to the rest of the series, her sections were pretty dry. Feast in general is pretty slow, though things pick up towards the end. If you start looking at reviews online, I think a lot of the frustration with the book comes from the fact that people had to wait 7 years for Dance to come out. I only had to wait a year or so, so my opinion isn't as negative. It's definitely the worst of the 5 so far, but that's not to say it's actually bad; just not up to the standards set by the previous ones.

Dance starts out in the first half in the same vein as Feast, but really kicks into gear about halfway through. I don't know how much you're aware of the structure, but the first half takes place during the events of Feast, then they merge and crazy shit really starts happening.

What did you think of the Red Wedding? I really can't wait to see the shitstorm the Internet is going to explode into when that happens in the TV series, especially since they're giving Robb a bigger role than he had in the books.
