The problem is that George R.R. Martin started off with this brilliant idea and he started writing it, ass it grew in popularity so did the ideas and now the books are just plodding along with no real ending in sight, and there is only supposed to be 2 more books to conclude everything I believe.

That is why I always recommend The First Law Trilogy over GOT, 3 books with a coherent beginning, middle and end, cracking characters, bloody battles, it's got the lot.

Martin takes so long to release the books that he will be dead before he gets it finished.

As for the TV series I think it is ridiculous that the TV versions plot is further along than the books.
I couldn't get past the 3rd series, I just found it all a bit 'meh' but I think that is due to reading the books beforehand
