[Brutus2600]

I dunno...I didn't get bogged down too much in his description of things. If that bothers you though, never ever read the Wheel of Time, half the book is descriptions

There are tons of descriptions in these books. Every meal, every feast, every course. I can't tell you how many times I've read "Ceseri broke her fast on...."

But those descriptions carry over wonderfully to help paint the picture that is Westeros. You can picture the utter cold at the wall by the descriptions of the haunted forest, The utter brutality of size of Gregor Clegane by the way men describe him, and the hideousness of Brienne of Tarth just cause well men are just really messed up to her lol.

That's a great example of how I feel reading these books. I enjoy a great description, but he tends to do LISTS. IMHO, lists are just to fill word count, not for great writing.
