Am I forgetting anything or am I right to think that we haven't even seen Howland in the books? I seriously hope he becomes more prominent, as he's always sounded like one of the most badass dudes in all of Westeros.

he hasn't appeared yet. I really hoped that he would appear (either at the wall or that Bran would go to him), but alas

He surely will. He's the only one alive (or am I forgetting someone?) that knows Jon's heritage. You know, assuming that it's true, and that he's not actually dead.

I'm actually re-reading both AFFC and ADWD doing this: http://boiledleather.com/post/24543217702/a-proposed-a-feast-for-crows-a-dance-with-dragons

and it's a much better read.

I wonder if GRRM will make a guide for us as to how to do this so it isn't fan speculation. That guide does a pretty good job, but chronologically he is about the only one who knows the exact order of the events.

The order of events is not the most important deciding factor in that order of chapters. How the order has been worked out is discussed at length on that webpage and in some of the links.

Not even GRRMs books are in strict chronological order.

I've said this before in this thread but I'll repeat it now, I liked the idea of the Ball of Beasts more than I liked it in practice when I tried it the last time I read 4/5. I say stick with the original.

(Ball of Beasts = the title of the fan-arranged Ebook of books 4/5 in the order proposed on that page. Here: http://ballofbeasts.weebly.com/index.html)

Lol I just read a post on reddit because of your comment, what a bunch of crap, Benjen as Daario... The arguments were really bad.

They couldn't be anything short of absurd. I'm guessing this started as confusion over casting for the show by people who have not read the books.

hah I see now, the fact that they recast Daario and that the actor of Benjen was seen at the set of this season.
Anyway, was the reason for Daario's recast known?

Definitely better than the last one. But I still don't get why they didn't keep the first one.
