It also means that at the end of the second part of the A Dance with Dragons everyone will be caught up and all the characters, that are still alive, will be ready for The Winds of Winter. I think that’s a great idea because we’re not losing their stories by having the characters all pushed into one book so we get lengthy, descriptive events that don’t feel rushed. It’s been about four or so years since I read the fourth book in the Game of Thrones series so it was very helpful that George R.R Martin wrote a little introduction reminding readers that the events of this book happen at the same time as the events in A Feast for Crows but is told from the perspectives of the characters we didn’t see in the fourth book, Tyrion, Daenerys, Jon, as well as Bran and Reek. And in the east Daenerys Targaryen struggles to hold a city built on dreams and dust. But Jon has enemies both inside and beyond the Wall. Eddard Stark’s bastard son Jon Snow has been elected 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch. To the north lies the great Wall of ice and stone – a structure only as strong as those guarding it. Tyrion Lannister, having killed his father, and wrongfully accused of killing his nephew, King Joffrey, has escaped from King’s Landing with a price on his head. In the aftermath of a colossal battle, new threats are emerging from every direction.
