This. The books aren't that great, when 40% of them suck (4 and 5). It is just that the first 3 were so amazing that we kept thinking the series will be good. GRRM wrote himself into a corner and introduced all kinds of horse shit (like the Prophet) that made no sense. There is no guarantee that Winds of Winter will be any good or more of the same old meandering garbage. But if I am guessing, it would be closer to the quality of the last 2 books than the first 3.
