Only the American one so far. Expect the British one to follow soon-ish. Still, a great sign that Bantam hope to have the book out ASAP.

My review:

I have a theory that at the end of ASOIAF that Dany and Jon Snow will be the king and queen of the seven kingdoms. When know that it will be dany that takes away everything cersi holds dear. I feel jon snow has a greater destiny than being commander of the Night's Watch.

Interesting. Bantam are launching a new industry magazine called BantamPulse which will only be available at events such as the New York Comicon and the Worldcon in Denver. A new ADWD spoiler chapter will be included:

I was thinking on what would be the direct implications on jon being the LCotNW. - Tormund Giantsbane seems to like Jon, paving the way (especially since Stannis new policy) for some sort of future alliance. - The North has seen lots of death, destruction and chaos (though not so much as the...

******ADWD SPOILER******* In Tyrion's ADwD chapter, we see that he's dreamt of being a Targaryen prince, riding a dragon. Do you believe this is some kind of Hero/Napolean complex or a "green dream"?

...only just not yet. After nearly a year, GRRM has promised to update the ADWD Update page on his website in the next 1-2 days. Y'know, the one he promised not to update until the book was done. Hmmm. Does this mean ADWD is done, you may ask? Well, I wouldn't bet on it. But we'll see in a...

I have never been on the side of Tyrion being a Targaryen. However, when reading the Viper's story of his visit to House Lannister after Tyrion's birth, I get that Targaryen-experiment feel. We know the Targs have been long in trying to bring back dragons. We know that the citadel has been...

Some of you might already have seen this, but if not then here you go...... Tyrion and Illyrio depart Pentos through the Sunset Gate. They travel by a huge litter that could fit 4 Illyrio's so there is plenty of room for a dwarf. Unsullied guard their trek and there are a trail of mules that...

Located in the hardback (pg 573) Here's the dialogue with question to follow: Silence followed his speach. Edmure sat in his bath. Pia clutched the clothing to her breasts. The singer tightened a strong on his harp. Little Lew hollowed out a loaf of stale bread to make a trencher...

Here are my thoughts concerning the future of Sandor Clegane. First, he's alive. Anyone who doubts should probably reread Brienne VI in AFFC. Failing that you can just take my word for it based on the following clues: 1) Brienne sees a large novice who is also lame in his leg. This would fit...

Well, I was reading spoilers and this might be old news, but it proves some of my theories wrong and some of your right. I.E. Fake Aegons coming to Dany, Connington being alive. ( You guys were right. :( Here you are .... Quaithe says this in the third Dany chapter of ADwD: "The glass...

I've been thinking about this all day and it really seems to be that everyone on Arya's blacklist is doomed to die. They've been dropping like flies ever since she started reciting those names every night before going to bed. Most interestingly, I believe that The Hound will survive through the...

Whose theory was this? Why do you believe this?

I have noticed that in many threads we have been focusing on Dany's 3 betrayals that she must face. One for blood, one for gold and one for love, but what about the other 6 that were told to her before even those 3?? (I am new so excuse me if I have missed a post on this already) In the House...

Didn't Rob (believing that Bran & Ricken were dead) make Jon his heir in SoS, just before he when to the Red Wedding? His mother tried to talk him out of it, but he refused. I don't have the book with me, but didn't he have the Greatjon and the others sign it? Did anyone else catch this?

This has been bothering me a bit. I don't know if there has already been a thread about this (cue a bevy of links), but I remember in Brienne's last POV chapter, as she's being strung up, GRRM says she shouts a single word (possibly to stop them killing her). What was the word? Jaime? Because...

In Tyrion’s third chapter of ASOS, the Small Council dispenses many lands to Mace Tyrell and his bannermen. When Lord Redwyne wanted to stop the meeting and toast each other, Cersei in exasperation butts in … “It’s swords Joff needs, not toasts,” she snapped. “His realm is still plagued with...

Another interesting passage in Tyrion’s third chapter of ASOS comes from page 265 of my US paperback. Tywin has dismissed the Small Council and is meeting privately with Cersei, Tyrion, and Kevan. Kevan speaks of Littlefinger and Tyrion responds. “Only yesterday he brought us word of a Tyrell...

Damm it! I just read the two preview chapters from Dance for the first time (That I can remember anyway) and now I'm dying to read it xD After reareading AGOT CoK SoS and FFC all in a row I'm sick of Westeros (But not the SOIAF setting, ******* love it) Me needs to read about the eastern...
