(like she was doing for most of books 2 & 3).  Is Sandor dead?  What about Jon Snow?  All of these and more are plot points I really wanted to see some sense of closure on.  Even if it was something like 'now they have place to hang & train for the next few months/years'.  Probably my biggest problem with the 3rd book was the death of Robb Stark.  Not because I was in love with the character (of all the Stark children he was the least developed) but because so much was written about him that I expected him to be a continuing thorn in the Lannisters' sides.  Now with him gone all of that 'prep time' seems like such a waste of time.That being said I have really fallen in love with this series.  Martin is talented as a writer (I didn't know he was an editor before this but that does explain why, in 3000 pages, the pacing seems very fast and even) and while the subject matter, at times, has almost driven me away from the series altogether, I am glad I stuck with it.  Song of Fire and Ice is easily the best written fantasy epic of the last 30 years - only time will tell if its story has the staying power of the classics.I am very glad that the next trilogy will be set several years in the future - I can't wait to see Ayra and Bran as young adults! (and whatever did happen to Rickon?)</blockquote>
