Yes, book 4 which is easily the worst book in the series, book 5 got a bit better but still the quality of the books took a tumble around the same time that the show did. Though I personally rank season 6 above seasons 2/3/5 but that's just me. |
Books 4 & 5 really should have just been a single book like originally intended.
The plots of each character were fine but much of it felt bloated and dragged out like Brienne aimlessly wandering through the Riverlands or Tyrion traveling across Essos or Jon taking inventory at the Wall, etc.
Instead of two good books we could have gotten one great book on par with the first three in the series.
