assjfjgjsgjljljglgjfjsduar Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I don't think it will be one to solve any cliffhangers, so maybe Sansa, Davos, Sam or Tyrion.sadly, I'm not counting on Jon, Bran, Arya.I agree, I'm not expecting Jon, Jaime, Cersei, Dany, Barristan, Brienne, etc. A Davos boat-trip chapter could work, or one of Sam in Oldtown, or Arya still knocking around Braavos.

Queensmoot Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I agree, I'm not expecting Jon, Jaime, Cersei, Dany, Barristan, Brienne, etc. A Davos boat-trip chapter could work, or one of Sam in Oldtown, or Arya still knocking around Braavos.I'd especially like Sam in Oldtown because that will likely be a long chapter. He'd have to go into how he got settled into Oldtown and where Gilly is and how he likes his classes before whatever present event the chapter would cover. I'd really like all that exposition in Oldtown.Davos would be, as others have said, a travelogue on his way to Skagos, but we'd likely learn everything Davos knows about Skagos on the way.

Mark Antony Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I really hope it's Davos but i bet it will be Damphair or Sansa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tin Pony Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Expecting the Damphair chapter, mostly because GRRM was already prepared to read/release it. I'd be happy with just about any POV, anything that gives us more of a look at TWOW is fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sforzando Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hmm, the chapter has to cater for - it has to at least partially be aimed at - those readers who don't read ADWD until the paperback version comes out. Those people will get ADWD and the sample chapter all at once - so I doubt it'll be resolving any of the cliffhangers at the end of ADWD.The only paperback-release chapter I remember is the Theon one at the end of AGOT. This wasn't the first chapter in ACOK, it wasn't even the 6th I don't think, but it did introduce us to a new plotline and a new threat for the next book. So we could get something like that - but there are characters we haven't heard from since AFFC and I suspect it'll be from one of them as that would not involve resolving any of the cliffhangers.It'll probably be Sansa or Sam just because there are enough people out there curious to know how they're getting on. But of course it could be Arya, Tyrion, Dany, Bran, Davos, Jaime, Victarion, Aeron, Areo, Brienne, Cersei, Connington, Mel or Barristan as well... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loras Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I think that Damphair is a possibility - GRRM really wanted to read that chapter, but it was voted against. Maybe that will lead him not to put it in the paperback? *fingers crossed*I think the main possibilities are (not in order):Davos - though I think that the action will take place ON Skaggos, with his main role in the book revolving around Hardhome. So he would probably spend the chapter looking for Rickon and OSHA and maybe fighting off cannibals?Sansa - the long awaited reveal of Harold Hardyng. We have waited a long time to find out what this Prince Charming style character is going to be like. Throw in Littlefinger's plots - I'm very interested to know what he knows about Aegon etc. And spice with The Mad Mouse... All the ingredients for a brilliant first chapter! (And probably the reason it was held back, qso the story arc flowed more fluidly).Cersei - the aftermath of the double assassination, the return of Varys, the arrival of the Sandsnakes (maybe) and gearing up for Cersei's trial. Sam - I have a theory that Lord Hightower is going to declare for Aegon Vi, due to the ties between House Targaryen and House Hightower. This will have a big impact on the maesters, Sam - Horn Hill could be at risk. What is going on with the Faceless Men, Sarella Sand, the glass candles. can Sam find information about the Others? Who is going to be sent to replace Pycelle? Loads of questions in this chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strewth, if we have one more chapter of building up I'm going to eat the book. Can we not have the darn trial already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishtemper Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 People really haven't talked about it, but I for one would love it if we got a Barristan chapter because I want to read about some battle...especially the unsullied breaking the lines of a bunch of sellswords who trip over their weapons as they run away because they can't throw them down quick enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall Tyrion Lannister! Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 This. This, and This. I hope you're listening, GRRM even though I know you aren't. :frown5:This. This, and This. I hope you're listening, GRRM even though I know you aren't. :frown5:I wouldn't mind a damphair pov if he's doing something interesting. Sure he's boring as hell but if he's planning or doing something cool then i can strand it.For the love all of all things good i hope it's not a Areo Hotah pov.

PatrickStormborn Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I think it will either be Sansa, the second Arianne chapter, or the Damphair. Personally I'm hoping for Sansa or Sam, but I'd love it to be Daenerys. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Oncoming Storm Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Meh, it will be Jochanan Damphair... even more wangst about the squeaky door hinge.Hoping for Sansa or Davos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamlife Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 My hope is for a Jon chapter. I know I am biased, because he's my favorite character, but I would like some details regarding his fate. Of course, it would make more sense to save this for the next book so there's something for new readers to stew over as they await the new book. For AFFC we got a Dany chapter, which I think is due to her being GRRM's favorite character, but also because it had been so long without a Dany chapter. Also, she is closely associated with dragons and the next book would heavily feature dragons.I have always associated the title, The Winds of Winter with Sansa and the Starks. So I am hoping GRRM will give us a Stark chapter, first preference being Jon Snow, but I would be just as happy with a Sansa or Bran chapter. I hope it is am important chapter, whoever the POV is.PS: Jumping ahead to A Dream of Spring, for some reason I associate this title with Bran and the Stark children.Off topic, but any idea how much time passed between the chapters GRRM released for ADWD on his website?

That would seriously be against the purpose of the cliffhanger to make people buy the next book . Also when did GRRM said that Dany was his favorite character ? He has stated numberous times that TYRION is his favorite character but people on this forum love to make up things that they believe in their mind to be the actual truth, even the crackpot theories .

assjfjgjsgjljljglgjfjsduar Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Tyrionthebeast could've said it a little more gently (:P), but yeah, there's no way we're getting a POV preview where the person ended ADWD on a life-or-death cliffhanger. No way. So no Jon. It will probably be either the Damphair chapter (although he might release that one earlier, if it's already available), or Sam, Davos, Arya or Sansa. And he's right about Tyrion being Martin's favorite character, it's not Dany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
