Query: Disappointment leads to first review, ever

I'm one of the ones who pre-ordered this book and waited impatiently through the recurring delays for the release of this book. I had high hopes that Martin would not sucker his fans into having to buy yet another book after this one to get to the end of this story. This seems to be the trend with fantasy authors these days, and frankly, I'm getting fed up with it. This book needed some heavy editing, and if it had been edited, maybe yet another book would not have been necessary. I was very taken with Martin's writing style in the first three books, and I found it refreshingly different, but when it's strung out, it can be excruciatingly boring. I will not pre-order the next book, but will wait for good reviews before buying. Caveat emptor!
