It seems that everyone seems to have a few favourite characters and really enjoy those storylines while the other storylines drag. But it also seems there is no firm consensus on the favourite characters.
Personally I'm not a huge fan of Dany's storyline but I don't think it is bad, I just prefer the other characters.

The major issue with her storyline is that the moment at the end of DWD is what we all expected to happen by book 2 or 3 or 4.
In the mean time Martin was forced (?) to fill in the time while #### happened in Westeros. And he couldn't just not mention Dany for four books while he filled in the gaps on the other side of the world.
Sort of like Bran and Arya. I know they will probably be key cogs in the last 2 books but a lot of times I think he gives them POV chapters just out of necessity. How weird would it be to not hear from either of them for 500 pages at a time?
