If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

That reminds me of the people that will only ever read one character's POV, especially because they correlate with the ones that complain about the books being unclear.

At least the heraldry is more than just set dressing this time. Harry's new shield gets pointed out.

I was at the edge of my seat there. Whew!

Also the twelve foot tall lemon cake made me laugh out loud. Didn't GRRM use that line about using every lemon in King's Landing before too? Man. Littlefinger must keep the Dornishmen in business from lemons alone. Any smart Westerosi should invest in lemons.

I gotta say grrm has done a really good job writing sansa. She's gone from a character I despise to a character I'm excited to read chapter's about. Part of this is because of littlefinger, but she's also starting to become a slight player in the game, if only because she's picking up after littlefinger. Can't wait for grrm to loving slam dunk on her again though, she seems to be a "kick the dog" kind of character.

I recall thinking the last "new chapter" (i.e. chapter cut from ADWD) where Arya was at the play was pretty awesome.

That's who that dude was. He was with Brienne in Duskendale looking for Sansa, right?

Also, if Hurley get to be Wayman, then Taylor Lautner should be Dorkstar, Luke Wilson can be Ser Shadrick or whoever.

Good chapter, the preview chapters have generally been very good.

How long ago was it actually written? It was pretty obvious that the ADWD chapter was written during his AFFC 'sessions' and this one doesn't read any differently. Fat gently caress hasn't written in years.

It only took twenty years and 5,000 pages. A slow burn, as they say.

Listening to the audiobooks after having read all the books again really strikes home how loving stupid Catelyn Stark is. She makes so many huge mistakes and then top it with the enormous one of releasing Jaime, loving her son over totally and probably a major factor in causing the red wedding.

This isn't Middle Earth, Quentin. There aren't enough noble quests to go around.
I had my first Yelling at GRRM moment yesterday. My husband was watching a documentary on Netflix about all of the Atari ET games buried in a New Mexico landfill. GRRM shows up for a moment and I shouted "FINISH THE loving BOOKS, GEORGE" at the screen. It was almost instinctively. Now, four years after having read them all, I am finally truly feeling the pain. At least the show comes around once a year.

I don't know about "causing" the Red Wedding but it removed all barriers to it for Tywin. Trading away your only major "play nice" bargaining chip against the guy who tricked the mad king into letting his army sack the poo poo out of Kings Landing was a rather bad idea.

George R. R. Martin hopes to finish the next "Game of Thrones" book before Season 6 of the HBO series airs next year. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the author revealed his plans to complete The Winds of Winter, and said he is considering a new twist that will shock readers.

"This is going to drive your readers crazy," he said. "But I love it. I'm still weighing whether to go that direction or not. It's a great twist."

GRRM is also a verb.

2. While you are correct in saying that the society owns

3. You have not for a second demonstrated here why

4. I love the way that you equate "state" with "bureaucracy". Is that how you really feel about the state
