Cliffhanging

I've finished reading A Dance With Dragons. It is obviously an awesome reading - George Martin is still in good shape, and gave his readers one hell of a book. But, god damn it, when it comes to cliffhangers, it is even worse than A Feast for Crows. The next six years (assuming that he won't rush into the next one, and I guess he won't) will be a pain in the ass.
