I'm a bit of a lazy bastard for just noticing this but George R. R. Martin has a new sample chapter for A Dance with Dragons up. Tyrion chapter. Interesting to see how the events of Book 3 are weighing on him psychologically, and the demons that threaten to consume him when he is purposeless, as he is now. People have been speculating for a long time (myself among them) that he will wind up with Daenerys's faction, and that appears to be coming to fruition; Dany desperately needs someone of Tyrion's skills in her inner circle (she has warriors aplenty but nobody with intrigue) and it looks like Illyrio is going to make it happen, provided he doesn't self-destruct on the way there.
