None of the plotlines end in any satisfactory way, as their endings, cliffhanger or not, were chopped off and saved for the upcoming sixth book, ''The Winds of Winter''.

It and ''Literature/AFeastForCrows'' were originally supposed to be just one book as well, and was split only because the [=POV=]s were too numerous and the pages kept piling up (only a handful of characters recur in both books).
