Oh boy, I am listening to this on various audiobooks on YT, but every version seems to be flat out boring. The reason for that could be very simple though: Maybe the book is just flat out boring. It feels like that. In any case, I am about to skip this timesink and move on to A Dance with Dragons.
The problem is that Jon, Tyrion and Dany are missing, while Sansa and Arya only get three chapters each. Instead, it's mostly written from the views of Cersei, Brienne, Jamie, Sam and the Greyjoys.

That's not GoT for me. It's virtually spin-off that would have never gotten any popularity on it's own. This brings me to my main point: Even though the screenwriters arguably made many bad decisions, they managed to cut/cover up all of this boredom and turn it into something interesting in the series.
Edit: I just had a good laugh. At the beginning of ADwD GRRM actually apologizes for AFfC being a total piece of crap. Thank you George. You only wasted 2 hours of my life.
