I'll stop there and the author would have been well advised to do the same. Having found a literary vein and want it to grow is laudable thing but personally I just feel my hunger to stay on each end of the volume. Maybe he will still twists but wait for 500 pages seems excessive. So goodbye to all, Jon, Sansa, Arya, Tyrion and others, I liked you but your adventures tired me .... The pleasure of reading is still present, but the enthusiasm and curiosity that made me buy the first volumes, are no more.
