This.
I gave up after A Feast for Crows after I realized that his story was going nowhere.
HBO butchered the story because they needed to wrap things up, and he doesn't even seem to know how he wants to end it.
With the good pacing of Game of Thrones and Clash of Kings, he could have kept it up and wrapped things up in the third book, but instead went off the rails by creating a million sub-plots and giving us perspectives of characters no one cared about. I swear a solid 500 pages of A Storm of Swords and A Feast for Crows were ramblings about literally nothing.
