I thought like 70% into Dance that Feast and Dance sorta meet w/ some chars...cersei for example...or maybe I'm dreaming
Maybe a couple crossovers, but for the most part, it's a 'split' book.
TBH I can't separate what happened to who in what book(s) anymore. It's all sort of blended together into 'the' story.

There's some delight in ale and wine,
And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

They made me mad. Unfinished stories, threads left hanging, characters you like killed off with no fanfare, just oh that guys dead. Overly descriptive of food. Blah.

I realize now I do not fear death. I fear my daughter will not be free when I die.

pretty much this, in book 4 we got an overload of stupid Sansa and Brienne, not enough Tyrion or Jon.
I'm stuck about 400 pages into book 4, bored with Brienne

I didn't even pick up Dance of Dragons yet, because he hasn't finished the series, and he's another one of these authors who could very well keel over before he's done writing the series.

Almost as bad as Jordon and his endless descriptions about the wardrobe choices of his characters...

and you have another 5 years until he even gets close to finishing the next book...
I can't wait for everyone to catch up and wait on book 6...and get disappointed again and again and again with release dates being cancelled and pushed back. They will all learn.
