Do we get any movement on the Brienne situation?

Is there really a character based on Pat that dies horribly?

Okay, just finished, and @Wert again... I'm thinking I missed the resolution of the mystery you mentioned, somehow, someway. I'm sure I'll feel like an idiot, but it's going to drive me crazy. Spoiler tag it or PM me and tell me what it is? I'm just coming up totally blank.

Edit: Unless it's
Spoiler
That would make sense. I'm an idiot.

Does anyone know if the lock out at Canada Post and the millions of backlog of mail has affected the delivery, please let me know if anyone has received their copy on time, thanks.

Just to clarify (and possibly conserve you guys' sanity) the info in my spoiler tags isn't super spoilery. I allude to shit that happens but don't come out and say it. If you're a purist, you'll wanna stay away. But otherwise nothing is going to be ruined. It's the equivalent of if someone posted "You find out more about the T'lan Imass" in spoiler tags before Memories of Ice.

I doubt it, since the lockout ended more than a week ago. I would imagine that the backlog has been nearly brought up to speed. I got an item I ordered back about 3 weeks ago today, so I doubt your order will be delayed.

I'm grabbing it from the store though as I didn't trust amazon or anyone else to deliver it.

Reading. At 150 pages or so now. Like it so far (although one of the chapters was the Dany preview one that has been up for ages). Have also been browsing the end a bit since I like ASoIaF but not so much I hate being spoilered or spoilering myself, and ehm, it seems big stuff is indeed in order.... ;)

About 250 pages through as of last night. Two huge plot bombshells thus far, one I was disappointed with (yet GRRM has 3/4 of a book to play with it, so I can bide my time) and one which I was quite happy with.

I had forgotten how annoying the Meerenesse were.
