Qarth is pretty much what brings season 2 down. It has easily the most significant changes from the books in the first four seasons, and while it's fine, it just serves to make things a bit more repetitive, and add some false stakes. Then the final part in the books (Barristan) got moved to the start of season 3.

In the books, it's a pretty light storyline without much intrigue or action until the House of the Undying. It is clearly a bridge to the Slaver's Bay storyline, but it's fine because it's not long at all and a lot more is going on outside it. In the show they maybe padded it a bit too much. It's still much better than much of what's in the second half though which again supports the idea of the significant dip occurring in season 5.
