Legal ways of reading sample chapters: -GRRM posts one chapter on his page (the new Arya chapter now) -in the ADWD paperback there is one TWOW chapter (in my kindle version is the Theon chapter) -some other chapters are not published anywhere, but GRRM has read them on conventions, so there are summaries in the forums (I think there was one of the Arianne II and the Barristan chapter) -for some characters there is TWOW information in the wiki of this forum (like Barristan Selmy)
