Gaiman is my absolute favorite writer and Heinlein is up there, so we have similar tastes.
I recently read The Shining - my first King novel - and I had the same issues you're describing. I finished it, and it was good, but god DAMN nothing of importance seemed to happen until page 500 something. He will drag the exposition on...and on...
It was good, but I definitely had to power through some parts.
It's more than I can say for any of the 6 or 7 times I've tried to read GoT. I can't get through GRRM's thicket of description.

Tangent:
I was at the Radiohead concert a couple of weeks ago. I was wearing a New Orleans Baby Cakes Tshirt. One of the hipsters sitting by me got all up in my grill "I love Neil Gaiman. His Babycakes story is so on point, especially in today's Trump America. I applaud you for wearing such a controversial shirt."
Me: "What the frick are you talking about?"
I had to google Gaiman Babycakes. frick that story.
