Let him finish the books first... who knows, there's another 3 whole books to go after Dance with Dragons and he may well split those i the same way as the last one... Shocked

Nah, I don't believe for a second it'll stay that way. 'Feast' and 'Dance' are two ha;ves of the same book and when he started writing it they were meant to be just one volume but as he wrote things on s life of their own, plots grew and there you have it, one book split between characters.

Martin must have some VERY understanding publishers to get away with the slowness of his writing. Just as well that it's brilliant. Very Happy

well well well seems my idea's that daenerys was going to invade Westeros and be seen as a villian are totally mistaken. Dorne wants her for vengeance and the Maester Aemon sees her as a saviour!!!

as you might have guessed i've finished AFFC. it was a shame it didn't have the rest of the characters in but it was good. especially with the downfall of Cersei and Jamie burning her letter asking for help!!!!

if Brienne lives through this i reckon a bit of romance may happen there!!!

Hehe... I still reckon Euron will have a large part to play with the dragons.

so it seems the stories Viserys was told about the people waiting for the rightful rulers to return was based in fact, to a degree, though i think Dany will be a better Queen than any before her and since she is the last of the Targareyans (sp!) she has no brother to marry.

Can you imagine what Viserys would have done to the heir to Dorne, Arianne, he was a spoilt twisted little b###### who would have destroyed her.

The is a chapter from "Dance" in the back which i'm going to read at lunch.....
