A Song of Ice and Fire

PostRe: A Song of Ice and Fire by **Phatman** » Fri Nov 01, 2013 4:39 pm

The paperback edition of ADWD has finally been released in the US, and with a new sample chapter - Barristan Selmy. Problem for us limeys is that it's exclusive to the US paperback edition and it won't be legally put online anywhere. So if we want to read it, we'll have to buy the US edition. I was looking forward to my next mini-fix as well. Such bullshit.

If that covers the Battle of Mereen I read a summary of it when GRRM read it at a convention.

Yeh, it probably is, I'm just not that keen on reading a summary, but I would be keen on reading the actual chapter.

There's an excerpt on Martin's site as well:

GRRM has written a short story about The Dance of the Dragons.

Dangerous Women: “The Princess and The Queen, or, The Blacks and The Greens” (Excerpt).

New Winds of Winter chapter has been released. It's a good one.

If you download the A World of Ice and Fire App you can read a full Tyrion chapter for free as well. Surely this is building up to a release sometime soon. I would hope by this time next year at the latest.

4x04- Jaime gives Brienne her new quest.
4x05- Tommen's coronation.
4x06- Tyrion's first trial.
4x07- Maybe "Only Cat"? Seems too early though.

Littlefinger and Sansa

Oh definitely I'm just wondering if it's when he shoves Lysa out the moon door. Maybe it's the kiss scene. :dread:

I reckon we'll see Sansa disappear after the purple wedding and then this episode will focus on her flight, Litlefinger's part in it and then his wooing and marriage to Lysa.

Her demise will come at the end of 9/10 i reckon. They have moved the timelines about, though so it may well all be done in that one ep (7).

I just had a look at Storm of Swords again, Lysa's death is literally the last chapter before the epilogue. It contrasts nicely with Stoneheart's appearance so I hope they haven't moved it up to 4x07.

PostRe: A Song of Ice and Fire by **Denster** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 12:59 pm

That's my thinking.

I don't like how they keep cramming each book into 10 episode seasons, especially as GRRM is nowhere near finishing the books yet.

Feast for Crows and Dance with Dragons could quite easily fill two seasons each and even then it'll still be highly unlikely that the seventh book will be finished or even started.

They would be awful seasons.

Storm of swords is over two seasons.

Been switching between the audiobooks and the books for a few weeks. At the start of Storm of Swords part 2. I feel for the narrator, the first half of the book he has to sing all these daft songs and the second seems to be nothing but "you know nothing Jon Snow".

Anyone who is up to date: Without spoiling it, does anything actually happen with Arya by the end of book 5? Clearly building to something and the character is interesting but it seems to only be some Walking Dead-esque strolling from one place to the next right now. Those chapters are killing me.

Completely non-spoilery answer

Slightly more spoilery and accurate answer:

Thanks

Wait there actually is a pretty good Arya scene in Storm of Swords but I can't remember when it happens. Sorry. :lol:

It's been a while since I've read it.

Where exactly in the book are you?
