Excerpt from THE WINDS OF WINTER by George R. R. Martin
Thought this might be of interest to some folks here. Yesterday GRRM posted an excerpt from the next installment of A Song of Ice & Fire, The Winds of Winter. It is from the POV of Arianne, Princess of Dorne.

That's OK, the book might not be out until around then anyway.

Oh, I don't know. Didn't see it and thought this one might be of interest to some folks.


EDIT: Just did some checking and you're right there was a Theon excerpt.

Here's a link to the Theon sample from earlier courtesy of the way back machine.

I agree. I was so disappointed, especially with the last one. I'm definitely waiting before buying the next book to see how people like it. If there's no progress (like the last 2) I probably won't bother. It's a shame because the first 3 books were amazing IMO of course .

Well the last two were supposed to be one book, but he was forced to make it two...however I don't know how much of that I believe because he's spent so damn long getting them out
