Song of Ice & Fire new book has a release date??

[Jakensama]

I'm finished the first 3rd of it, so far so good - I mean he still has his problems with writing style but thats just a pill I swallow when reading fantasy, but things are definately an improvement from the last book. The first half of the book is taking place concurrently with the last book and telling you whats going on at that time with the people in the North and across the sea, he says in the forwards that about halfway through or so though it converges and we get some of the characters from the last book.

Get an ebook version if you can, the hardbacks quite large and unwieldly.
