Well, silly is an odd term to use for this series.
Morbid is more like it. After book 4 EVERY character is dead or maimed. Years passed before book 5 came out, and since everyone was GONE, the plethora of superficial useless drivel
was all that was left. A Dance with Dragons is almost devoid of
dragons. Maybe 10 pages from the 900+ boring drivel.
Jon Snow who started off with great potential, becomes a boring mess too. All the peasants and their farms are destroyed, almost all the major characters brutally dead... it became extremely morbid.
Bursting eyeballs, flayed women, sadistic sex, lots of pus, vomiting, and dysentery endlessly. Whew.... no more for me! Book 4 is a teaser for Book 5....so if you don't like book 4 much don't bother with Book 5. I kept thinking "it" would get better, and really it just gets worse and worse.
