King Behind The Wall

I asked GRRM if he is planning to release more sample chapters. He confirmed that he is not. This is actually a positive sign,

The way they are butchering every character, don't be surprised if Longclaw gets broken when Jon tries to fight a WW

You were saying?

Izembaro is not Varys; Varys is in King's landing.

Also, the show confirmed that Varys is indeed a eunuch in the last episode of season 2. If Varys wasn't really a eunuch, then that would have been a major twist later on. The show will not contradict the books like this.
