This season covered most of the ground in Clash and set it up for a Storm of Swords. Swords is easily the best of the 3 in my mind.

If season 3 is seen as boring when all is said and done, it will be HBO's fault, because the source material is exceptional.
I think it depends on what aspects of the story you are into the most. If you're into getting to know the secondary characters from Game of Thrones in a bit more depth, then Clash is fantastic. If you're in it for sudden twists, Game is your choice. If you're in it for action, Storm will do it. And if you're in it for political scheming and maneuvering, Feast/Dance are probably pretty awesome.

For me, the first one will always be epic just because of how much it broke the mold for epic fantasy. Book 3 is probably my second-favorite, followed by Book 2. I didn't get much out of 4/5, but I can see where he's going with a few things, so I can live with it.
