Link to the previous collection of text-based observations: Wow, I never noticed that Vol. 17.
The abomination will be done before this thread is closed. Book-lovers will be relieved and show-watchers will be disappointed.
TWoW probably won't be available before this thread is finished. But maybe GRRM will re-release the already-released chapters. Or The She-Wolves of Winterfell?

I hadn't noticed how GRRM had bookended this.
They brought the King-Beyond-the-Wall with his hands bound by hempen rope and a noose around his neck.
The other end of the rope was looped about the saddle horn of Ser Godry Farring's courser. Mance Rayder wore only a thin tunic that left his limbs naked to the cold. They could have let him keep his cloak, Jon Snow thought, the one the wildling woman patched with strips of crimson silk.
Small wonder the Wall was weeping. (Jon III, ADwD 10)
