I'm buying this at midnight on my iPad. My love affair with George R.R. Martin's world knows no bounds. George, if you ever happen to read these words...you're a real bitch for making people wait 7 years for this book. But, I get the impression that you could give a shit anyway.
Stay tuned for a review maybe later this week depending on how long it takes me to devour it.
Finally, I get to know who the hell Coldhands is and if he really is the flying saucer deus ex machina that I think he is. George has had seven years to make shit up about him. I think I could probably come up with a plausible explanation of his powers by then given the reach of fantasy which is essentially...well...infinite.
And maybe there will be some epic white walker stuff.
