BOOK FOUR SPOILERS
Aggghh, this sucks. Sorry, just had to put it out there. Now to get out of this thread, just in case someone posts something along the lines of "keep reading." Cheers, guys.
I gotta say, I'm really disappointed (and kind of angry) about how Davos and Gregor and Sandor Clegane were all killed off-screen (or whatever the book equivalent is called). I understand how the book doesn't romanticize death like in movies or other novels, but I still felt that Davos and Sandor especially deserved a better goodbye.
I was initially wary to accept these deaths, as Storm of Swords tricked me into believing certain characters had died when in fact they hadn't, but I just finished the chapter where the monk confirms Sandor's death to Brienne. I'm really sad to lose such an interesting character in such a quick in inglorious way. Davos especially. Sure, Sandor's death was heavily alluded to in Storm of Swords, but I thought that was misdirection.
I suppose Davos and Gregor's deaths could be red herrings as well, since we only hear about them from third-parties, but I'm not going to put much stock into it. And who knows, maybe it's revealed that Sandor received the Beric Dondarrion treatment, but I doubt it.
