They condensed Stannis so much that they wanted to "wrap it up", by going even further ahead to when Shireen will be burned in the next novel, apparently as part of the White Walker war or something.

Semantics; overall point remains that "you shouldn't have attempted to condense Stannis's storyline this drastically, it made it anti-climactic and at times kind of forced." Yeah, I suppose. Although my issue is more with the treatment of the character, rather that the affect on story line flow.
