Unhappy George Martin's latest is beating me ......

"Dance with Dragons" is, I'm sad to say, beating me ! There seem to be so many new characters, places and events that I'm assumed to have knowledge of, that I'm very confused.
My "suspension of misbelief" is struggling good and proper!
And my grey cells are overloading - more fish needed, perhaps....
I've even taken to "scanning" over sections 'cos I can't relate it to the story so far with certainty..........

It might help, I suppose, if I went back and read the first 4 again - but that seems like it would would take a big lump of my life, just in in the hope it'll clarify things. And I really don't think it'll help anyway.

I've tried re-reading the notes on the families and characters, not much help, as it describes them before the events of the book, and drifting away from chapters headed up by the characters names hasn't helped my poor brain !
I've tried taking it by surprise, to no avail...

Anyone else having/had my trouble ?
