Also, I'm pretty sure its mentioned with Dany, I remember Missandei saying that the translation can be prince or princess.

I know it would be tolkien-like (Good v. Evil) if Jon kills the NK, but Arya just doesn't make sense.

Here's my thoughts, I miss the grey zone in the previous seasons. For example, I miss being conflicted over a character like Jamie. The only 'grey zone' that exists is Jon and Dany's future for the throne, which will most likely be resolved.

Is this thread for book reader's only or not? Not sure what the last few replies are about but they seem to be coming from the show.

I'm fine either way but if TV show discussion is part of this thread I just won't visit.

I feel the same, but I figured there were so few of us now that it wouldn't matter.

As far as I'm concerned, NOTHING would be more in-line with GRRM's mission statement about "turning fantasy tropes on it's ear" than presenting a well-fleshed out prophecy, dropping hints about it (bleeding star, salt & smoke, Jon's death/ resurrection) possibly happening, and then...it doesn't happen at all or not at all as it was expected.

This mega-melt over "muh Arya" is puzzling to me, but I am happy to see you-know-who chose to have it elsewhere.

Also...has it been confirmed that "Fire and Blood" sheds any light on Summerhall? I have a copy but haven't cracked it yet.
(Just looking for a YN answer to that, thanks)

I think the author conveniently spilled ink on the Summerhall entry.

No, it doesn't. This one was a part 1 of two. The book ends after the Dance with Dragons.

And this is why I won't buy any of his supplement books until after he's finished the Song.

Last thing I bought was the collection of the Dunk & Egg stories, skipped both the history books.

Random question, but do we think that Mance knows that fake Arya is Jeyne Poole given the times he has snuck into winterfell and seen the stark kids?

Same here. I was really tempted to buy fire and blood or whatever but told myself that motherfricker isn’t getting any of my money until ASoIaF is finished.

Also saw a wild cards book on sale on Amazon $1 and passed on it for the same reason

Because of how he worded "the letter?"

WOW will finally be released 6 months after the show's finale.

It does make sense, based on nothing else besides marketing. The demand for the book would be at it's highest as soon as the series is done, and that would put the release right around Christmas.

6 Months is about how long it takes to go from manuscript to book on the shelves.

Of course, I had the same hope last Christmas.

Yes, it doesn't hurt that Christmas happens to be during winter either.

I say this, but I would be first in line for another Dunk and Egg.

I've thought/said/hoped that he had them both done and would release them back to back for a while now, but why would the actor who portrayed Barristan Selmy be in the know like this and "allowed" to spill the beans?

Must have been quite the monetary agreement for the Fat Man to be willing to take so much heat from his fans over the years.

All of a sudden this crazy story about my finishing THE WINDS OF WINTER and A DREAM OF SPRING years ago is popping up everywhere. No, I am not going to provide links. I don’t want to reward purveyors of misinformation with hits.

I will, however, say for the record — no, THE WINDS OF WINTER and A DREAM OF SPRING are not finished. DREAM is not even begun; I am not going to start writing volume seven until I finish volume six

Good! At this point, take all of the bad ideas that D&D laid out, and give us something different. And Better!
