GRR Martin's Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire)

[Angrist]

Wait, that doesn't make sense. You say Arya has chapters in both books (I think you're right), AND they take place in different places?
Hm I want to know what GRR says about it. I've heard that AFFC was pretty boring, nothing really happened. Mixing it up with ADWD could really improve the experience.
I hope.

GRRM said Arya had chapters in bother books because he was pretty sure fans would be upset about a book without Arya chapters. Arya's chapters in AFFC take place in the same part of the work as the chapters in ADWD. I think Samwell's do as well, actually.

Or thinking about it, maybe I'm confused about how he's splitting it up because I'm pretty sure Jon had no chapters in AFFC.
