It is very big!

Finally got my copy of A Dance with Dragons - nowhere had it yesterday because deliveries were running late (to an entire town??????).

At 1016 pages, I can see this taking a while. I have read the first 50 pages or so - very hard going so far, not at all like GRRM's usual flowing prose!

Kranburn 4-10

The latest page is here - it really was a "Surprise!" moment from Brand and I have a sneaky feeling it is not over yet!
