I'm reading them on my kindle and at the end of book 4 there was actually a letter of explanation from Martin, lol. He just kept writing and writing and writing and he wasn't done and realized it was too much for 1 book. So he decided to split it up into the minor characters and the majors characters to offer some different perspective on the different story lines.
The only thing that kind of annoys me is that 4 and 5 are concurrent. But I think that's mostly because I'm so into the story I can't wait to see what is gonna happen, lol.
