The Mountain That Flies Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 It's impossible to know where Winds of Winter or Dream of Spring will go, but the story will eventually come to an end, and I'd like to hear bets on who will have the last perspective.Will it be one the mainstays of the series (Arya, Bran, Tyrion, Sansa, Jon, or Dany)? Will it be a random epilogue character who dies at the end? Or will GRRM break form and give the final chapter a neutral third-person look at the world?

willy york Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 someone on the board suggested that bran in tree form watching the future or something might be the last pov which i thought was awesome. cant remember who it was tho it was a month or two ago.

I like the idea of Bran being the final POV.A neutral third-person look at the world interests me also.My bet is on Bran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Stannis Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 GRRM, personally killing Jon Snow, revealed as the evil dark lord of favourite-character-death. It all makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Mac Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Bran. He's the first POV (other than Will), I can see him being the last.Or Sansa. Or Sam. Those would be my next two options, but most likely Bran.If I had to rank the most likely, I'd say1. Bran2. Sansa3. Sam4. Rickon (reflecting as an old man. Also finally gives him a PoV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draxus Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I think the last few chapters of the final novel will be from the surviving book 1 pov's. But I think the last chapter of the series will be from Bran's pov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vargo Hoat's Teddy Bear Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'm thinking Bran. I picture him 'flying' through weirwoods and animals, watching each character as they work out their own futures as he's stuck in the middle of nowhere, to remain a virgin.

He's the first POV (other than Will), I can see him being the last.A really cool idea mixed with effective symbolism? I can get behind that.

eggs Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Good question op. Im going to have to go with Bran. He was the first, so he might as well be the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paytheironicprice Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hm, this is an interesting thought.What if it was Varys? My head would explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
They see me R'hollin Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 The way no king is given a POV throughout the books purposefully intrigues me. Perhaps the final POV is where we finally get a King's POV. So whomever sits on the Iron Throne, or as King of the North... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreyKraken Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Bran being the final POV would be quite sad in my opinion, if his family members find peace, Bran will only be able to watch them, see them live out their lives and eventually die.(Assuming he chooses the path BR lays for him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImplicationsUnpleasant Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hm, this is an interesting thought.What if it was Varys? My head would explode.Yes, i also think it will be a prologue with Varys as a POV. I bet he will reveal something HUGE in the plot and then the book will end, just like that. Can't say if he will die or not, but if GRRM follows the tendency of the other prologues, he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melonica Stormborn Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'm also on the Bran boat. The last epilogue is a good point to break the cycle the prologue/epilogue currently follows. It does not matter if Bran would not die within the chapter since he'll be kind of a tree and good as dead to other characters who didn't know what exactly happened to him. Now that is bittersweet.My second choice is Jon, his death scene after saving the realm. :leaving: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Warden Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Going against the received wisdom, I suspect that the epilogue might be our first Rickon POV, reflecting on the fallout of whatever happens in the last book. Many of the prologues and epilogues seem to be written from the POV of characters we have never seen before, so this seems distinctly possible to me.

The Mountain That Posts Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Oh my god, all these Bran posts are making me want to puke. I sure fucking hope not. And the fact it's actually LIKELY isn't helping my stomach. :(I feel like, quite possibly, the last POV will either be Jon Snow(assuming he isn't like UnCat and/or a monster) or, hopefully, it'll be Sansa.A cool theory I haven't seen proposed in ANY of these last line/last chapter threads is, what if, the last book has an epilogue and it's Doran Martell? I'd be okay with that, if the plot lends itself to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twenty of House Goodmen Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Bran will probably be the last POV, but not the epilogue character. Maybe the epilogue character will be Rickon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newstar Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Bran had the first POV, he will also have the last.Exactly. He might give us a "fast forward" glimpse of Westeros several years down the road, what with (presumably) being in a tree with his life artificially prolonged and whatnot.
