A Dance with Dragons

I find the characters interesting but I don't reallly like any of them. Spending all of one book with POV'S I did not care for and now, halfway through ADWD if find myself asking, what's the point, what are we working toward? I feel like whoever gains the iron throne won't change Westeros for the better. I'm also sick of the poor treatment of women and placing scenes of rape in the background of several scenes. Probably won't re-read this series. I'm honestly kind of sad I can't join the ASOIAF fan club, but that's how I feel right now.
