What a strange choice of the author to have wanted to separate the different characters in two different volumes. 5 This volume thus comes happily put some dordre: a first half of the book with last news of Tyrion, Jon, Daenerys, Bran and a second part or reappear some survivors left characters in Volume 4.
The author obviously realized that sest létendu his saga was taking gigantic proportions ("This volume was hell"); Léventail characters and intrigue continues to grow (despite all deaths) and that this necessarily a problem for the rest (the list of all the characters at the end of this volume takes 35 pages!).
The question of whether George RR Martin will be able to finish his story one day really pose?
Especially sil we add to this the TV series that also involves the author dune significantly.
Knowing that the series is filming Season 5 and Season 4 is riding on integral 3, 4 and 5 same seems to have no doubt today about the fact that the events that will unfold in the series will exceed the intrigues of books.
If the plots are revealed by lead in the series, the author he will take the time dachever books?
Anyway, enjoy this day: Excellent book, absolutely amazing universe, and yet always surprises for those new (if there still) do not get too attached to the characters (not always easy) author has the unpleasant used to make them die
