All I'm seeing is the post saying he'll be releasing it and to watch for it.

quote:

The new chapter is actually an old chapter. But no, it's not one I've published or posted before, and I don't even think I've read it at a con (could be wrong there, I've done readings at so many cons, it all tends to blur together). So it's new in that it is material that no one but my editors (well, and Parris, and David and Dan, and a few others) have ever seen before, but it's old in that it was written a long time ago, predating any of the samples that you have seen. The first draft was, at any rate. I've rewritten it a dozen times since then.

Anyway, I've blathered on about it long enough, I will let the text speak for itself.

Chapter title is "Mercy."

(And as with past samples, please don't talk about it here. There are dozens of great places to talk about the books on the web, but this is not one of them. If you want to talk about the chapter after you've read it, check out Westeros or Tower of the Hand or one of the many other great Ice & Fire sites).

Watch my website. Coming soon.

Best sample chapter by a very long shot that GRRM has given us. I'll discuss it when some of y'all have the time to read it. Aside from one thing:



SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!












Did anyone get what role Arya actually had?











End of Spoilers

Ugh I really don't want to read any of the chapters before the book comes out.

Do they spoil anything major? Will I get something big ruined if I read this thread constantly?

It's probably the sample chapter that has the most plot info, but I wouldn't say majorly spoilery. Its also by far the best of all of the ones released so far. Probably better than any of Arya's chapters since she asked the Tickler where Lord Beric is. Definitely in my Top 5 Arya chapters. Take that as you will.

Very slight spoilers, but it's about her apprenticeship with the person the Kindly Man sent her to, so I'd assume it would be her first chapter.

Yes it's the first Arya chapter released.

It kinda confirms for me that the "kids" getting older is gonna be a good thing for the show

Yeah. This chapter more than all of them I bet that GRRM wrote this before he decided against the five year gap. This chapter would work better with Arya being older, which the show will provide.

To answer your question what role Arya was playing?

I believe she's playing Sansa getting raped by Tyrion

You know, I'm having some issues with some arcs in the novels, particularly the Stark Children's and Cersei's. With Cersei, it's pretty easy to assume that at least a month has gone by since her last chapter, and with all the Stark children, I'd assume that 6 months had passed between each of their chapters. A fan calculated that they're only into July since the Purple Wedding, which means Tywin has only been dead for half a year. Surely it's been at least a year since Tywin's death. I particularly don't buy Arya speaking fluent Braavosi, even if she's completely immersed in it. It's said to take at least 10,000 hours of study to be even proficient at a language, and even if we don't count sleep, Arya isn't even close to that. Unless she's a true language protégée (and there's nothing to indicate that Arya is) it's incredibly impractical that in 6 months or less that she'd be able to fool a Braavosi to believing she is one of them.
