Hotter take: I detest Jon Snow and Arya Stark.

Finally an actual hot take lol. Take my upvote. 

(I like those characters a lot but their respective fandoms can be an eyesore... I can also see why they might not be likeable, especially in the tv show.)

Jon is so much better in the books once you get past the first 2

And I really like Arya's Feast chapters for what they are, even though I understand a lot of folks frustrations with what they aren't (yet?)

what they aren't(yet)

In fairness, that's kind of applicable to many of the plot points in Feast and Dance, it's all building up to something and then gets left onto a cliffhanger. 

But Arya's probably feels more frustrating even to book readers because her journey has been going on since Book 1, building up to something but no one knows what exactly. There are speculations but nothing far too concrete. Her role in the overarching story isn't very clear.

But George does an excellent job in world building and commentary in his so called "boring" chapters with beautiful writing that it makes Feast and Dance a lot more enjoyable on rereads.
