That's the reason I couldn't read the books. The silly unneeded detail of every piece of food and every piece of clothing. We get it they had a feast and wore fancy clothes. Get on with it.
1. Never open a book with weather.
2. Avoid prologues.
3. Never use a verb other than "said" to carry dialogue.
4. Never use an adverb to modify the verb "said”…he admonished gravely.
5. Keep your exclamation points under control. You are allowed no more than two or three per 100,000 words of prose.
6. Never use the words "suddenly" or "all hell broke loose."
7. Use regional dialect, patois, sparingly.
8. Avoid detailed descriptions of characters.
9. Don't go into great detail describing places and things.
10. Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip.
My most important rule is one that sums up the 10.
If it sounds like writing, I rewrite it.

a taste of the intensity? Book 3 was the most intense long-form book I've ever read, probably.

No no. A taste of the white walkers in the way they were written about in the prologue. I know there have been incidents with them but it wasn't until much much later that we even saw that.
