The following volume (volume two of volume five, for those following), still titled &#8216;A Dance with Dragons&#8217;, will follow soon afterwards. This delay allows Martin to further refine those characters most loved by the fans and somehow figure out a way to make them give a damn about Brienne of Tarth.
