Seems to happen quite a bit with fantasy writers. Patrick Rothfuss is having the same issues with his Kingkiller Chronicles (the 2nd book of that series was released the same year that Dance with Dragons was out). Robert Jordan famously had his issues.
Anyways, I recently did a re-read of the series (and read Fire and Blood and the Dunk and Egg stories again), and was surprised to find that A Feast for Crows, which was lamented at the time, turned out to be my 2nd favorite book. When I wasn't reading it for 'what happens next with the plot' (Storm of Swords ruined me) I was able to appreciate it better - it's a book that cares about what the past battles have done to the people and the countryside than what new twist is going to happen with the plot (though it does have a few big twists at the end).
