I am one of those people who likes to be surprised - my enjoyment of a plot twist et cetera is greatly enhanced by not knowing it's coming.

THAT SAID.

Regarding Sansa Stark:will someone please tell me if she did something epic in the latest book? Or it was hinted that she was going to lead Winterfell in Robb's place? I know that she was the vehicle to poison Joffrey and that she went into hiding but did GRR Martin let her live up to her potential?

Remember that she's 13-14 and a lot of people want to use her for political ends, so she doesn't really have her own agency yet. She won't do anything epic until she breaks free of their hold on her. I actually don't have high hopes for her. She's a weak personality, and she may play a critical role in something later on, but I doubt it will be through her own actions. She's definitely not a Daenerys or Arya, in the sense that she doesn't take her fate in her own two hands.

On a literal timeline its only been about a year since the war began, but because there's SO much story and SO many characters, it's taken a very long time to put all the pieces together. Book 4 and 5 are actually one book split in two, with 4 covering characters in Westeros, and 5 focusing on characters elsewhere. GRRM pulled a The Two Towers on us.

Oh, I hope they don't do that when they adapt it for the tv show....
