So I'm half way through Feast of Crows without hearing anything about my favorite character, Daenerys, but I am finding that I don't care. Sure I'd like to know more about what is happening with her, as well as to Stannis who has yet to be mentioned and Aria who has only had one chapter, but even if the book focuses mostly on characters that have previously only had minor roles the stories are good.
Honestly I found myself skipping huge swaths of text in Storm of Swords because it dealt exclusively with describing some elaborate panorama or the way that various soldiers were dressed, or else was dialogue unrelated to the story at hand. I'm not doing that in Feast of Crows because, with only a few exceptions, every sentence seems to advance the plot.

You don't win the Game of Death by dying first. The name is misleading.
