I think that any work of this magnitude is going to have high and low points. And even If you consider AFFC to be a low point for GRRM, it's still pretty darn good, and, IMHO, better than most of the fantasy out there today. Heck, the contents of George's chamber pot are better than anything Terry Goodkind ever put to paper.

Put simply, he had a case of writers block with this one - something that all writers great and small suffer from at least once in their life. To me, the real question is this - is GRRM over his writer's block, or is he still struggling to get the story out? We shall see soon enough (hopefully) in ADWD.
