Yeah no Strong Belwas sucks. They can always bring him in later though, who knows how the structure of seasons to books will end up being. They'll have to start splitting books up or they'll pass Martin if he keeps his current pace.

Seriously, when can we expect the next book? 2015?? The show will easily catch up before the seventh book, so we'll probably have to wait at least two years between seasons then.

Ever since the mess up that was Crows and Dragons release dates he never states a deadline.  He has said it will be the biggest entry possibly being 1,500 pages in length as so much needs to happen before the final volume.  He has written several hundred pages confirmed and has leaked a chapter here and there to appease the rabid fanbase.  I would say 2015 is reasonable.

My expectation

2013 - Season 3 (Book 3, Part 1)

2014 - Season 4 (Book 3, Part 2)

2015 - Season 5 (Book 4/5, Part 1) Book 6 released

2016 - Season 6 (Book 4/5, Part 2)

2017 - Season 7 (Book 4/5, Part 3)

2018 - Season 8 (Book 4/5, Part 4)

2019 - Season 9 (Book 6, Part 1)

2020 - Season 10 (Book 6, Part 2)

2021 - Season 11 (Book 6, Part 3 / Book 7, Part 1) Book 7 released just in time! (I hope)

2022 - Season 12 (Book 7, Part 2)

2023 - Season 13 (Book 7, Part 3)
