Dances with Dragons, t-minus ~ 1 month

So A Dance with Dragons, A Song of Ice and Fire #5, is coming out in about a month. Honestly I've been wondering if it really would drop (at ~1000 pages, it's literally going to be a heavy drop). Seems as if it's for real, Publisher's Weekly has a short review up (and Lev Grossman will be penning a positive review in Time soon).
