A Dance with Dragons, Prologue...

Like so many people, I ordered A Dance with Dragons by George R.R. Martin from amazon.ca a long, long time ago. And also like many people, I have been waiting impatiently but faithfully since A Feast for Crows came out in 2005. I remember it well. I was in Malta at the time.

Amazon has yet to deliver the book to me. Usually they're very good. Was the demand too much this time?

In any case, I got an electronic copy to tide me over. I fell back into the story just as easily and obsessively as ever - but find myself going slow, not wanting it to all be over too soon. Dying to talk about it (online or otherwise) but reluctant to encounter spoilers.

So it occurred to me that it might be fun to voice my reactions here, chapter by chapter, as I read. It's another way of prolonging the pleasure. It might be a long time till the next book.

So...
