A Song of Ice and Fire Series (Books) *Spoilers*

[Angrist]

Nice. I downloaded that list and read the explanation. What kind of spoilers would book 5 have that are chronologically detailed before they happen in book 4? Unless it's maybe talk (in book 5) about a plot to kill somebody... who would eventually die (in book 4).

Oh I'm just wondering about the general concept, I don't want to hear the spoilers of course.

Kind of like that, yeah. Someone somewhere has a secret plan to do something. This plan is revealed farther in the book in AFfC. ADwD actually follows a character carrying out that plan. If you read these things strictly chronologically, you're going to know about this plan from reading about a guy carrying out prior to reaching the "surprise reveal" chapter from AFfC. It wouldn't necessarily ruin either book or anything, but it is intended as a surprise in AFfC. I'm sure if the books were written as one, GRRM would have handled it differently.
