GRRM recently read aloud two, count ‘em, two Barristan chapters from The Winds of Winter. The description at the link is detailed enough that I almost regret reading it. (Almost.)

It sounds pretty awesome.

GRRM: "I am [working on TWoW]...I've had to do a lot of traveling and promotion and that delayed me...don't expect TWoW next month or even next year; it's going to take a couple of years to finish that puppy"

“ "The heart tree knew my name. The old gods. Theon, I heard them whisper. There was no wind but the leaves were moving. Theon, they said. My name is Theon." It was good to say the name. The more he said it, the less like he was to forget. "You have to know your name," he'd told his sister. "You... you told me you were Esgred, but that was a lie. Your name is Asha." "It is," his sister had said, so softly that he was afraid that she might cry. ”

—Theon I, The Winds of Winter, George RR Martin. 

“There is nothing more terrible, nothing more glorious, nothing more absurd than war. ”

—Barristan Selmy (George R.R. Martin)

“     Stannis bristled at that.  "I defeated your uncle Victarion and his Iron Fleet off Fair Isle, the first time your father crowned himself.  I held Storm's End against the power of the Reach for a year, and took Dragonstone from the Targaryens.  I smashed Mance Rayder at the Wall, though he had twenty times my numbers.  Tell me, turncloak, what battles has the Bastard of Bolton ever won that I should fear him?”
