Martin says he's "Reached a point in the story where he was a lot more flexibility for killing people."

That's just summarizing for newbies what Martin has long alluded to, which is that he will start killing off a lot more POV characters in the next few books.



Specifically (speculation of course):



Victarrion


Areo Hotah


Brienne, most likely, serving as some catalyst for Jaime's further redemption


Either Arriane or Jon Connington, as their plots are converging


One of Theon or Asha (most likely Theon as a major furtherance of the plot and as some kind of redemption arc for him)



One or two others I have omitted for now, or who could be interchanged for one of the above. For example, Barristan might be interchangeable with Victarrion, except that he is likely a unique viewpoint with knowledge important to resolving the whole Jon/Rhaegar/Lyanna arc. So he might well need to stick around for some time to come.



The point is, a lot of characters are no longer needed and will go the way of Eddard.

Keep Dreaming friend.

She's not even half her plot yet. She's "coming home" both literally and figuratively speaking. Martin's words, not mine. If she dies, it will be at the end of the books, doing something important, even heroic. But at least, big. She's not dying in the middle of the Red Waste.
