New Winds of Winter sample chapter

[Brian G Turner]

A Taste of This, A Taste of That

"
And... because I know how much bitching I'd get if I offered a new sample from Wild Cards without also doing one from A SONG OF ICE & FIRE... we've also changed the WINDS OF WINTER sample on my wesbite, replacing the Alayne chapter that's been there for the past year with one featuring Arianne Martell. (Some of you may have heard me read this one at cons).

Have a read at: Excerpt from the Winds of Winter | George R.R. Martin

You want to know what the Sand Snakes, Prince Doran, Areo Hotah, Ellaria Sand, Darkstar, and the rest will be up to in WINDS OF WINTER? Quite a lot, actually. The sample will give you a taste. For the rest, you will need to wait.

And no, just to spike any bullsh** rumors, changing the sample chapter does NOT mean I am done. See the icon up above? Monkey is still on my back... but he's growing, he is, and one day...

Reading the Dance sample chapters ruined the beginning of the actual book for me. I won't read a word until the new book comes out.

@monkey getting bigger, it should be after all these years.

Yeah I read the first 2 chapters that were released and decided I didn't want to read anymore. I'll wait for the finished volume.

I succumbed and read it. Arianne seems both the same and somewhat smarter now. I think that Daemon's words have a lot more merit than she assumes. Her father equipped her with companions for a reason.

There are that many characters in the books now and it's so long since I read ADWD that reading this chapter didn't really mean a great deal.

Not really. I barely remember anything about - nor care much - for anything relating to Dorne. They have always been a side show. This whole series began by telling the story of the Starks and Daenerys - that's the story I want to see completed.

Spot on that Brian - someone tell GRRM!
