GRRM has posted an excerpt from the upcoming book. It's a Theon chapter. Obviously you shouldn't read if you don't want to be spoiled.

That was pretty good.

No big spoilers at all, just basically what Stannis is up to. Stannis says "Words are wind". Made me laugh.

+ Show Spoiler +
I guess the only spoiler would be the ravens knowing Theons name.. looks like Bran has something planned for him.

Yeah, I she just thought it better to not reveal herself just yet. Can always do it later if required.

@Eris:
I'd argue that Arya is more important than Bran. Bran's got some interesting shit going on, but he's had like... 3? chapters the past two books. I guess that doesnt neccesarily mean that he's less important, but I just don't see him affecting things tooooooooooooooo much in the future. Whereas it looks like Arya is getting into a role to do exactly that.



Have you read ADWD?

+ Show Spoiler +
Bran's basically being set up to be a supermage kind of guy, or as I've heard a lot, he's going to be leading the Others. Arya is just going to kill somebody and then decide she doesn't want to be nobody anymore.

I have, I have.
+ Show Spoiler +

I get that he's being set up to be a greenseer, and I sorta assumed he'd be taking Bloodraven's place.
However, so far from what we can see of his powers, he can't actually do very much, which is what I meant. Maybe I'm wrong. I love whats going on with his story and I'd happily be proven wrong... it's just that I don't see him doing very much while rooted into trees waaaaaaaaaaaaay the fuck up north.

I guess he coudl lead an army though. Now that I think of it. He's got a good view. Maybe use ravens to give orders to troops or some shit? That sounds cool.

Still, I don't see him leading the Others. He's learning from COTF, after all.


As for the new shit he posted, I thought it was awesome. It was a pretty exciting chapter, even though it didn't reveal too much new information. + Show Spoiler +
I don't want Theon to die. :/

Wow, that was fast. Does this mean we won't have to wait for another 10 years before we can read the next book?

Based on the knowledge that he has written at least one chapter in the 6-or-so months after the release of the last book, you think he has sped up his writing process? Actually, he has completed a few other chapters for the next book that were written before the release of a Dance with Dragons. That doesn't have to mean anything. He rewrote aDwD a couple of times, and he had preview chapters for that book up on his website for almost five years before the release I think. I am hopeful though, because it seems like the future arc is much better planned out than the transition between the initial trilogy and the rest of the story.

Edit: Here is a summary of an Arianne chapter that he read to some fans: http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/57570-twow-spoilers-arianne-ii-part-2/page__st__40__p__2802238#entry2802238

He has also completed a Damphair chapter and possibly some Sansa chapters.

So , after the end of the 5th book , does anybody else think that Jon Snow is reallly dead? I think he might be dead , but he would be revived by Melissandre.

And what about the Theory that ?on Snow is actually not eddard starks son , but the Son of Lysanna Stark and Rheagar Targaryen? He has a white wolf with violet eyes after all.
The futures uncertain , but the end is always near

He posted on his blog or site that this theon chapter actually falls before the end of ADWD timeline wise, so conventional wisdom says this was one of the chapters cut in editting that got pushed to twow.

I think i remember GRRM mentioning that he was taking the rest of 2011 to do tours/GOT tv stuff/wild cards writing before he got back to the grind of this series in 2012, but could be mistaken.

Ghosts eyes are red, not violet.

and we know that at the very least, Jon will warg into and live in Ghost, like the guy did in the prologue. What happens after that is anyones guess. :/
I'd pretty much consider him dead.

If it's justice you're expecting you should probably stop reading

Where is the justice in our world ? Our wolrd isnt just, our world isnt governed by bright fairminded people but by people who seek power and who push away their opponents even in a democratic society.
If you want justice, arrest all politicians and people in power and then read fairy tales XD.

I like it because he depicts the nature of humans ans shows what beeing human really is about.

damn just finished book 5 and it doesn't close anything, just makes more loose ends, hopefully the wait for book 6 isn't too long

pfft, with the number of deaths there's a bunch that got closed off, he just started more than he ended...

The wait will be long. He was doing lots of interviews etc. and also stated he wanted to take a small break from westeros ( he does write other stuff too ).

So he stated he was going to start with book 6 this early 2012. Even though he has a few chapters left that didnt make it into book 5 he still will not finish the book this year.

2013 we will get book 6.

This is all speculations ofc

even some of the deaths are left as loose ends considering we got dead people coming back to life all over the place in different ways

He's doing book tours, signings, or whatever else the fuck authors do when they're not writing books. I think he already took his vacation. Either way, I've read from two sources I believe that quoted him saying that he will wait a year before he even begins to write the book.

Assuming he has untied the Mereeneese Knot (or whatever), everything will be smooth sailing. Just like when he was writing the first three.

Which means the book will take at least two years.

Which means 2015 is being optimistic.

Its about the clusterfuck of a situation thats happening in Mereen. Martin said in one of his interviews that this story arc was so hard for him to write - it felt like untying a knot. Apparently it was one of the causes for the long delay.

I think it refers to the fact that Dany is tied up in Mereen for like the last three books, without actually doing anything at all
