Gala Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Davos, Sansa or Sam. Those are most preferable for me, but I would be glad to see Arya or even Asha or may be Osha ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaspianK Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hello,Not sure if this has been mentioned already but on the UK version of Amazon the paperback is split into two books due for release on the 15th of March. You can use their 'look inside' function to get a preview of the book.Part 1 does not show if there is a preview chapter from The Winds of Winter but in part two it shows that the preview chapter will be the Theon chapter that is already published on GRRM's website. Here is a link.Let's hope that there is one in Part 1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Stark Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hmm, didn't think of that, but if it's also true that:GRRM has said it will not be the Theon chapter he just gave us. also he said he will not be introducing any new Pov characters in TWoW other than one-off prologue or epilogue characters.then GRRM can't show us a POV from any of the characters who have a part to play in the second part of the paperback edition. Would be stupid for all the first time readers of DwD.That leaves us with:1. Davos or Jamie (I think their chapters are well in the first half of DwD)2. Sansa or Sam (they had no chapters at all in DwD)Or did I miss something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3CityApache Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I have to admit I'm confused. How this corresponds to GRRM's assurances it wouldn't be a gift chapter in the paperback of ADWD? Even if there is another one in the first part of a split book, I thought it was said it wouldn't be Theon. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmay Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 What about a Cersei chapter? I can't wait to see her reaction to Kevan and Pycelle's death and thinking its Tyrion in the walls of the keep still. And then progressing to/thru her Trial?

Loras Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 The chapter that is previewed for 'After the Feast' is Theon's 'The Turncloak' chapter. This could very well be the first chapter in the book, as the cliffhanger for Part One would be Tyrion being captured by a slaver.That doesn't mean the sample chapter is a Theon chapter - that first page gives an idea of what the layout will be.For what it's worth, the blurb is wrong - it states that Tyrion is sold as a slave in Yunkai!

Peasant Rebel Leader Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I don't quite get what you're saying. So the Preview Chapter for TWOW that one can see in the Preview of ADWD: After the Feast on Amazon isn't final? or what?Against that, I'd argue now that it is clear that the preview chapter in ADWD: Part 1 (Dust and something, right?) will be of a character not in the second part of the book. (If it isn't one chapter of the second part of ADWD). That makes Aeron the most likely candidate in my mind and GRRM was eager to read it already so there seems to be something gamechanging in there...

Loras Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 No. If you follow the link above, you can view 'a chapter' from the book. That is 'The Turncloak'. The first chapter in the book (look at the page numbers). It says nothing about TWOW preview chapter.There won't be a preview chapter in part one.

Ingvarr Snow Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 No. If you follow the link above, you can view 'a chapter' from the book. That is 'The Turncloak'. The first chapter in the book (look at the page numbers). It says nothing about TWOW preview chapter.No, you are wrong -- there are two chapters in that preview, the first is Turncloak, the second is Theon chapter from TWOW, the pages even have headers "The Winds of Winter", just scroll untill the end, you'll see.

LordJon Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 So from the link above it is clear that the Theon chapter up on his site is the one in the paperback. Hopefully another one is also in here that we can't see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent_Hero Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 It will be either the Damphair chapter or the First Arrianne chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loras Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Ah sorry, I stand corrected!I'm a little disappointed that we are getting the same preview chapter. I suppose this chapter was chosen because it expands on one of the major plot lines of the book's second half and ends in a cliffhanger.I guess we will have to wait and see which chapter is in the US version.

Petyr Middlefinger Baelish Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Is there a date for when the pb will be published? I read somewhere that it would be in March, but I don't know if that's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bastard of Walton Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Really hope its Davos, my best POV character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishtemper Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Is there a date for when the pb will be published? I read somewhere that it would be in March, but I don't know if that's true.Yeah I thought it was March as well, but that was just some date that was on amazon and when I went back to look for it earlier this week it wasn't there anymore.So I went to an actual book store website (barnes and noble) and their release date for the paperback is June 27th or something around there which makes sense because typically a paperback version is published a year after the hardcover was released so they can make as much money off hardcovers as possible.

TheeMikeHoncho Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I am hoping for a Sam chapter. What will he do when he finds out Jon was "killed"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Damian Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Sam, Sansa or Arya. Sam, might be it down in Oldtown, regarding dragons, Targs and his chain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waaimasjien Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Yeah I thought it was March as well, but that was just some date that was on amazon and when I went back to look for it earlier this week it wasn't there anymore.So I went to an actual book store website (barnes and noble) and their release date for the paperback is June 27th or something around there which makes sense because typically a paperback version is published a year after the hardcover was released so they can make as much money off hardcovers as possible.[EDIT: damn, no image embedding allowed?]Well, in fact the UK paperback should be released March 15th, split into two books. Voyager (UK publisher) confirmed their paperback would get a sample chapter. The release date for the US paperback has as far as I know not been confirmed to be June 27th.So my heart skipped a few beats when I saw this at my local bookstore (Netherlands):http://i94.photobuck...on/4ec524a7.jpgYes, the Harper Voyager paperback of Dance, in one book instead of two.http://i94.photobuck...on/31b8f06d.jpgAnd... it has a Winds sample chapter.But sadly, we've already read it. It's Theon.http://i94.photobuck...on/0348207e.jpgThey also had one copy of a Bantam (US) paperback, which had no sample chapter.http://i94.photobuck...on/f2ec6036.jpgAs far as I know these releases were both completely unannounced. Very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishtemper Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 damn, so we'll just have to wait til the U.S. version is released to get the sample chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kephv Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 So the US doesn't even get the Theon one? That's kind of weak :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
