Please, get on my level
>300 pages of exposition

I'm like 300 pages into pic related and it's really starting to test my patience. Like George is in desperate need of a better editor, each page I find myself often finding sizable passages that could have just been erased without the story loosing anything, which in a 900 page book that moves at a glacial speed is kind of a big problem. At this point the repetitive nature if his prose bas become noticeable as well. Is it worth powering through? Some people have told me that this is the wost of the bunch, while others tell me it's the best or second best. It also doesn't help that imho, the first season of the show was better then the first book.

What are you currently reading? And how do you like it so far? I'm reading A Clash of Kings, and so far so good.
