Fire and Blood

After yesterday's terrible news, it appears karma is working in full force to balance things out, as it turns out that, at long last, A Dance with Dragons has a release date. This book has been in the making for nearly six years, so to say it's highly-anticipated would be a gross understatement. However, GRRM's reassured us that it's really bloody long, and if the events at the end of A Feast for Crows are any indication, this book should be something truly spectacular.

Winter is coming. And so are the dragons.

Update: it gets better. HBO have released a new trailer for Game of Thrones. We're getting a TV series based on the first novel in the series, and the latest novel in the series, within a few months of each other. Excited? I am.
