In what way is the writing in A Song of Ice and Fire bad?

It's kind of hard to put into words without going into very specific example though, but that's pretty much the case with any piece of writing, and I don't have the text in front of me or the time to do that so I'm sorry if this doesn't answer your question very well, but here goes:
Martin's very good at certain things. He's a very good composer of stories and lore, and he's also excellent at placing you into the character's eyes through some clever diction and good dialogue. Those are his strengths, his weaknesses are pretty much everything else. His moment to moment action scenes are cumbersome, his descriptions (while certainly very detailed) are often tiresome and unnecessary, and much of the way he presents things lacks what I could describe as flair. I've read the first 3 books many many times, but after reading a greater variety of stuff, I've just seen him woefully outdone in terms of writing and general structure and, more than anything else, pacing.

You're gonna be trapped on an island for the next year! But it's okay, you came prepared. You can bring one musical album, one video game, one anime, one western television show, and one year's supply of a food. Assume you'll have everything necessary to use these things. What do you bring?

Album: Ghostlings
Anime: FLCL
Game: Overwatch
Show: Buffy

In the upcoming months I would like to do blog collabs. Although I don't know what to do for the posts (and I am asking multiple people) would you be interested in a collab in the near future with me? If so do you have an idea?

Mari Okada, Jun Maeda and Kinoko Nasu. Which is best? Which is worst? What are there pros and cons as writers? Also do a Kill/Marry/Fuck

Kill Jun Maeda (worst). F*** Kinko Nasu. Marry Mari Okada (best).
