Are these sometimes weird text passages a problem of my translation or were they straight from Martin? In the last few chapters there was out of place stuff like "And with this Bronn walked out of the room, out of the castle and out of Tyrions life". Its like I am suddenly reading something else.

Ok boys (and girls), this is the year. Winter is coming. I believe!
I think she did.
I think she did.
I rewatched the scene were she dies, she only says to Littlefinger that she killed for him
You're in for a treat. I think it is underrated. So much left out from the show.
yeah, super excited for Lady Stoneheart and the griff, i imagine that they gonna add super interesting things to the whole dynamics. Espescially Daeny is in need of that IMO her chapters in the last book were a) kinda boring b) really few. But it appears overall that the focus of the plot moves now more to Essos, as a lot of the returning characters are moving to there.
Ohhh, they are one and done? Not all of them are returning POVs?
No, some return, just not like 7 or 8 or whatever times like the main characters.
Reminder from Geroge's blog in May
"But I tell you this — if I don't have THE WINDS OF WINTER in hand when I arrive in New Zealand for worldcon, you have here my formal written permission to imprison me in a small cabin on White Island, overlooking that lake of sulfuric acid, until I'm done. Just so long as the acrid fumes do not screw up my old DOS word processor, I'll be fine."
WorldCon is in July.
I know he's just joking around but we can still hope

Did a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms get a paperback release for the US? I had to buy a paperback from Book Depository to get one.
I live in germany ;)
But I think Hedgeknight got one in the US, but that could have been the british one, too.
I bought the Knight of the Seven Kingdoms paperback while on holiday in Germany. The illustrations are so beautiful and frankly a lot better than those in Fire and Blood (which has a very 'stiff' style of illustration I personally didn't enjoy).
I was being a little facetious before, but I do believe this is the year Winter comes. While George was obviously joking around about the Worldcon imprisonment, I doubt he'd say that if he wasn't somewhat confident about finishing it. He's been pretty silent on a potential release for years after coming clean about his writing struggles.

Congratulations on being one of us now! There are nearly a dozen TWOW preview chapters to read too if you're interested.
Man, the Dunk & Egg stories are fantastic so far. Through the first two.
I really love how Martin manages to sneak so much history and world building into stories that have nothing to do with that history... and yet have everything to do with that history, if you know what I mean.

Just noticed A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms now actually has a US release date for paperback, February 25, 2020.
I love how you get a better insight into Cercei in the books. In the show, you think she is your super evil monster but in the books, you see that she is just super paranoid and sees a threat to her and her family everywhere, which explains her actions far better
Great video. I've felt for a long time that the letter was written by Ramsay post-Battle of Ice and pre-Battle of Winterfell. I favour the theory that Stannis and his southron knights will disguise themselves as Frey's and smuggle themselves into Winterfell with the Manderly's, while his northern forces besiege the castle. The other lords will then wait for a signal and turn cloak, leaving the Bolton forces surrounded and trapped.
Finished the first half of a Fest for Crowns and so far it was a bit meh. Not bad but not really amazing and the whole story was a bit hurt a lot by the fact that the characters with the most interesting status quo changes havent showed up yet. Stupid ass decision, I want to know whats going on in Essos so dearly.
In regards of the interlude Characters, I dont see the point. For now, most the time it was Victarion Greyjoy, so whats the matter for not making him a real POV character? Most of these were even unncessary, they could have just went with Yara. The Dorne Plot is still building up but is already feeling more interesting the the one from the show. Also I am curious of some weird ass decision like changing the Sansa chapters to Alanya Chapters. I know what he wants to with this change, I even noticed the sudden change back to Sansa when she remembered back to Winterfell shortly before the Lords of the declaration came to the Eyrie but its a bit weird to say at last. In the last two books, I didnt enjoyed the Arya parts much, it felt like her journey didnt had much meat and thought her parts were the most boring, but since she went to Braavos and joined the faceless man, its somewhat interesting, and may it just be because the whole tempel is IMO different enough from the show to get my attention.
The most interesting parts where the Cercei chapters. In the show, at some point she went just full evil and became a bit comicbookish, but I enjoy the introperspective on her and the realization, that she just became super fucking paranoid after Tywin died. I still dont like her at all, but I cheer whenever I get to a chapter of her.

I honestly ever felt that at some point of the show Brienne felt a bit without anything meaningful to do, but that cant have happened, right?
Brienne's story has several high stakes, action-packed segments. Unfortunately, because her POV is mostly a thematic slow burn, D&D didn't give a damn about her character.
