A Dance with Dragons - Discussion and Stuff



With A Dance with Dragons on the shelves just under a week, and having already claimed the best selling fiction book of the year, there is of course ample discussion on the book. What’s happening, what’s happened prior to the books, people forgetting about characters like Theon Greyjoy and Davos since A Storm of Swords published, as well as many other questions. So, here’s a round up of pre-publication blog posts and some current discussions that are probably quite interesting and helpful.
