Then we figured out how many different versions of the sequence we would need to create, the idea being that the opening title would show you all the places you would visit in each episode. And we boiled it down to four different sequences, each a subtle variation.

[...]
Of the 75 chapters in the book, 35 alone consist of Jon, Daenerys and Tyrion chapters.

A Dance with Dragons takes place simultaneously alongside the events of A Feast for Crows, with ADWD focusing on the North, the Free Cities and Slaver's Bay. The timespan of ADWD will be several months longer than that of AFFC, with the first half of the book (currently 800 manuscript pages) running alongside AFFC and the last half extending beyond its timespan. According to GRRM, working out the continuity issues on ADWD has been extremely complex and time-consuming.

The book is 1,510 manuscript pages in length, 11 MS pages shorter than A Storm of Swords. It contains 75 chapters including the prologue and epilogue, compared to A Storm of Swords' 82.

ADWD will feature the first canonical map of the Free Cities seen in the series so far (though HBO featured part of this map on the TV series three months earlier).

Because of the longer timepan, George has been able to revisit at least some of the characters left hanging (in some cases, literally) at the end of AFFC to keep their storylines in synch with the longer timespan of ADWD. Arya and Asha are confirmed as being in both books. Sansa and additional Arya chapters have also been written, but due to space constraints it is currently planned that they will be in The Winds of Winter rather than ADWD, but this decision is not 100% final, depending on ADWD's final size. Martin has indicated he wants to put some AFFC characters in ADWD to resolve their cliffhangers from the previous books and keep the timelines synchronised, and has confirmed that Cersei currently has two chapters in ADWD as well.

Asha Greyjoy and Arya Stark appear in both AFFC and ADWD. They will both appear later in ADWD, after the events of their chapters in AFFC. GRRM has confirmed that one Arya chapter he wrote for ADWD has been moved to The Winds of Winter, but she still has at least two other chapters in ADWD.

George has recently confirmed that more POV characters will die in the remaining books, but not necessarily in ADWD.

According to George, ADWD will introduce the last new POV characters in the books (barring future one-off prologue/epilogue POVs). However, he has also pointed out that his original plan was to tell the entire story of ASoIaF from just the POVs in A Game of Thrones only, and these plans are subject to change.

Some people had theorised that the title may change, as Daenerys' invasion of Westeros is not likely to occur in this book. However, George has said that the 'Dance of Dragons' and Dany's invasion are not the same event. The title of the book was confirmed by both the UK and US publishers when the cover design for both was released in early 2008.

Book Six will be called The Winds of Winter. For this novel George plans to have all the characters back together in one book, and already has 100 manuscript pages in rough draft written (chapters written for ADWD and moved to Book 6 for space and pacing reasons). Martin has confirmed that Arya Stark, Sansa Stark, Asha Greyjoy, Aeron Greyjoy and Arianne Martell will have POV chapters in this book. Presumably all POV characters that survive ADWD will also have chapters in that book.

Book Seven will be called A Dream of Spring and is currently planned to be the final book in the series.[...]
