Endymion I Targaryen Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 On 31/5/2016 at 5:41 AM, The Sword of the Evening said: Way better than the Alayne chapter. Probably the best sample chapter.Fans should have chosen this instead of the Arianne chapter years ago. I was very happy to see a new chapter but disappointed too because this means Winds won't be published soon.

The Arya, Sansa, and Theon chapters have moved things along, at least to the extent that discussing Arya, Sansa, or the northern story-line is difficult without reference to the preview chapters. I do agree that the Arianne chapters and material set in Essos is disappointing. From what I can tell, ADWD also had about 15% released beforehand, at least in some form. Plus the chapters given in Winds are mainly from minor POVs (Arianne,Aeron,Victarion,Barristan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLE Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Everyone thought Aeron was disappointing until THIS chapter too... So, the question is, in what way does Arianne start to become interesting to the greater plot - in what way does she bring Dorne into the conflict that her father would currently rather stay out of until he's ready, which he isn't (and now never will be, since Quentyn is no longer alive to marry Dany, Doran's main plan is already dead and he doesn't know it yet)?

CrypticWeirwood Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I don’t expect another sample chapter of Winds, as I expect a publication announcement for Winds the moment that this season of the HBO adaptation finishes up in a couple weeks. We should then see a chapter of Dream at the end of Winds, albeit perhaps not till the latter’s paperback release two or three years hence.

That'd be great if we get a publication announcement after this season of GoT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do hope you are right, I think you shouldn't hope too much. I think getting a publication date at the end of the year is probably our best bet, if it even comes to that.

The window for that date, however, closes soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arthur Smith Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 On 6/1/2016 at 2:35 AM, Ser Gareth said: I really don't know what to think anymore. ADWD was a massive depart from the first four novels in terms of feel and style. The narrative and locations didn't feel like an ASOIAF novel. The violence in the first four novels felt gritty and realistic for the main part. Some of it was ridiculous (Mountain Clans for example) but on a whole it was gritty, low fantasy for the most part and the sadistic characters were believable not only within themselves but the way others reacted to them. Then Ramsay came along. A cartoon villain in an unbelievable scenario effectively appealing to torture porn fans. Up until this point the mainly ridiculous characters had existed beyond the narrow sea. The Iron Born were a tad ridiculous but just about stayed within the realms of believability even if their culture is very 2D. Nah. Imo, the Brave Companions were more cartoon than Ramsay.

The Arthur Smith Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 After Aeron's chapter, i doubt we won't see anymore sample coming out considering how many GRMM released and Winds may come out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endymion I Targaryen Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 I also doubt we will see any other sample chapter.In Dance we had more sample chapters but I am happy if Winds is published before the next season of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrow of the Morning Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 May be yes, but it all depends of what POV we may see. I don't believe George will spoil some important things to happen in the samples, so we can exclude some POVs that ended in cliffhangers and there something really important is about to happen in the next chapter. So POVs like Brienne, Arianne, Daenerys, Theon/Asha, Tyrion/Barristan/Victarion and Aeron are less likely be a unedited samples. But, others like Areo Hotah, Sansa, Arya, Davos, Sam and even Bran are more likely, in my opinion. May be we will get some sample George read in some Con like Barristan, Tyrion or Victarion.

Inevitable, I'd say, since a major character's chapter would give too much away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
