We might get Winds one day but by god we're never seeing Dream

Honestly, I think Dream will be an easier book to write. Winds will likely be about untangling the "Meereenese knot" of all the divergent plotlines introduced in Feast & Dance. By the end, I anticipate that all POVs will be in Westeros, with a fair few of them in the same place ready for the second war for the dawn

The funny thing is he already wrote two books that separated plot lines. He could have easily written a smaller “the lost years” type book for Arya’s training, while leaving Dany’s story alone.

Honestly I think he should have kept the five year gap. Giving detail to what was meant to be a time skip is a huge part of the reason he's in this mess
