Given that we saw Dorne in the opening titles, I wonder if that is where Melisandre is going.

Some nice camera work during the battle with the horse charge. For fuck's sake Rickon, do you not know to weave about while running? NO Ghost. What a complete joke. And instant travel between Westeros and Meerreen.

I am taking a small break from reading Children at the moment. For the third time, the plot has been advanced by some of the central characters getting into a new situation/confrontation, only to the same main character kill someone. It's a teensy bit repetitive. Apart from that, the quality of the writing is GGK at his best, and it's always fun to read his books and identify all the historical comparative events.

[TWoW Spoilers] Aeron I (Balticon)
Arataniello replied to Free Northman Reborn's topic in The Winds of Winter
Just Aeron having visions and such from drinking shade of the evening IMO. -
[TWoW Spoilers] Aeron I (Balticon)
Arataniello replied to Free Northman Reborn's topic in The Winds of Winter
Looking at Wikipedia, I see that there was only one Aeron chapter removed from aDwD. Here is the post from GRRM's blog - http://grrm.livejournal.com/169899.html So it may indeed be the last we see of Aeron, alive at least. -
[TWoW Spoilers] Aeron I (Balticon)
Arataniello replied to Free Northman Reborn's topic in The Winds of Winter
I vaguely remember a comment by GRRM about there being two chapters of Aeron moved out of aDwD - if correct, it may be that there is only one more Aeron chapter (covering a naval battle?) before we see the last of him. -
[TWoW Spoilers] Aeron I (Balticon)
Arataniello replied to Free Northman Reborn's topic in The Winds of Winter
There is still Aurane Waters' fleet (albeit small) and Salvador Saan (minimal) that could inflict damage on any Ironborn fleet that is heading for King's Landing. And the Manderely ships hidden upriver, as reported in a Davos' chapter. Plus whatever naval strength ends up coming to Westerns from Essos after events in Slaver's Bay. I wonder if GRRM is not tying himself up into a naval equivalent of the Meereenese Knot - multiple fleets whose movements and timings have to be synched up correctly. -

It will need to be confirmed or denied by someone who was there. I read it, and it doesn't sound like GRRM, tbh (but I was not at the reading). -
[TWoW Spoilers] Aeron I (Balticon)
Arataniello replied to Free Northman Reborn's topic in The Winds of Winter
As with all con readings, this one is going to have one immediate effect - and that is to make me want to go back and read all the connected previous chapters all over again to reassess information we have already received. It's a shame that we only just got a newly-released chapter (Arianne II); we are probably going to have to wait quite a few months before this one is published on GRRM's website. -

So maybe the Great Other is female. Hence the tall terrible shadow that she casts, standing at Euron's side. Would be symmetrical with the Rh'lor being male and fire-related. Could also be the same Other woman in the tale of the Lord Commander who wed her. -

Wow so many details. Fantastic! At a stretch I wonder of the woman with hands of white fire is the Sand Snake in King's Landing who is adept with poisons. With the white fire being metaphoric for the poisons that she seems to be able to apply with her touch.
