Just a quick note to let people know that on GRRM's official website, he's mentioned that he's planning on changing the last book in the ASoIaF series (provisionally called A Time of Wolves) to A Dream of Spring. He feels this would better "set the tone" of the last novel.
Which leads me to believe there will be an element of 'happily ever after' once all is said and done. I was thinking that the previous title A Time for Wolves left some scope for an broader slightly more melancholy ending to the series.
Well that's my 2c, anyway
