Indeed, Martin’s decision to release a sizable chunk of his story-in-progress as the fourth installment - the underrated “A Feast for Crows” (2005) - now seems wise and actually generous to readers. Was “A Dance With Dragons” worth the six-year wait? Absolutely. His readers now number in the millions and a recent HBO series - “Game of Thrones” - based on the first installment in the series faithfully showcases all of Martin’s strengths. In the four previous volumes of this sprawling fantasy epic, which was inspired by England’s War of the Roses in the 1400s, Martin has captivated readers with complex story lines, fascinating characters, great dialogue, perfect pacing, and the willingness to kill off even his major characters. Martin’s “A Dance With Dragons,” the fifth book in the hugely popular Song of Ice and Fire fantasy series, is one of the most anticipated novel of the last few years.
