Finally got my hands on a copy! It's been a six-year wait since the last one in the series. Waterstones had nearly run out when i went in at lunchtime. It's Sean Bean's fault.
Any other fans?

Absolutely. Given the massive amount of $$$ involved in it now though he might write a bit quicker. Or even slower. Hmm...
Maybe i'll invest in a PS3 and play that Elder Scrolls game in the meantime.

I'm going to wait for the paperback I think, after all it's already been 6 years, what's another 9 months?
In the meantime, there's plenty of others in the emerging genre "Fantasy In Which Everyone Is A Dick", such as Joe Abercrombie.

Anyone read / made progress with this one yet? Thinking of getting it today but swithering over buying the hardback - has GRRM gotten things back on track?

kinda come to a stumbling halt mid 4th book, <SPOILER ALERT> he's killed off some many characters I liked, I'm struggling to retain interest </SPOILER ALERT> very much like the Steven Erikson Malazan series, I will finish it, just not yet.
'apparently' electronic versions are freely available if you know where to look... ahem not that I support piracy, oh no.... I have it ready for when I do pick up the 4th book again.

Finished this one last week and thought it was good. Miles better than the 4th one but still problems with too much meandering and excessive Danaerys. Balanced by some great character viewpoints though. Most of the hardcore fans sound disappointed with it - GRRM's wasting pages and pages world building when he's not very good at it. At the expense of what he's brilliant at which is character and plot writing.
Still, v much worth a read and largely puts the series back on track IMO. Anyone else finished it?If you've completely forgotten what happened in the previous ones, like I had, there's v helpful chapter by chapter summaries at the tower of the hand site.
