  1. Arthur the Arthritic will be using Dawn, though. Which is always a plus.
  2. That actually worked very well in Theon’s case, because we don’t see him at all for a really long time. And when we meet him as Reek in ADWD, it’s a huge reveal.
  3. I don’t necessarily see that as a problem. If everyone’s story ended midway through, that would be poor storytelling.
  4. Are you suggesting that meritocracy in the Frey family is determined by AI?
  5. I’m not entirely convinced that Ned would have brought Lyanna back to Robert after rescuing her from the Tower of Joy. Maybe he would have sent her into hiding with baby Jon.
  6. Well, we know from F&B that Aegon himself was tired of fighting Dorne and only continued doing it because Visenya and others pushed him on. It's very possible that whatever was In that letter gave him the off ramp towards peace that he wanted.
  7. It’s always possible that the outcome of the trials and the news of Kevan’s death simply haven’t reached Harys Swift and his entourage yet.
  8. Well, GRRM has said that all of Ned's children are wargs, so it's definitely possible that he was skin changing.
  9. Not necessarily. It's mentioned in the ADWD epilogue that the trials are supposed to take place a few days after it, so they can easily be featured in Winds.
  10. I just realised that if it was supposed to appear in Dance, then it can’t take place after the trials, since the trials don’t occur in Dance.
  11. We should remember that Dunk is very young when we meet him and probably got smarter with age. Victarion doesn't have that excuse.
  12. But Stannis was already fully on board with her before she had Cressen killed.
  13. As GRRM himself put it; "It's fantasy, man. It's magic".
  14. I'm not sure about that. I think Stannis or Davos would have mentioned a few staples of Asshai cuisine if that was the case.
  15. Speaking of which, I wonder how Melisandre managed to gain his trust?
  16. To be fair, the list of people that Stannis likes is very short.
  17. Plus, with both Jon Arryn and Robert dead, Ned was the only obstacle to full Lannister hegemony in King's Landing.
  18. Which is why I don’t really understand why he has been so focused on worldbuilding in recent years. That’s not his strong suit, especially compared to his character work.
  19. “Then it was going to be the concluding Arya chapter in A Dance with Dragons. But it seemed more like an opening chapter than a closing one, so shortly before ADWD was published my editor and I agreed to remove it from Dance and shift it over into Winds”. https://georgerrmartin.com/notablog/2014/03/27/i-broke-the-internet/
  20. It seems to be a routine meeting with his UK publishers, whom he hadn’t seen in a while. From what I understand, he would've had an urgent meeting with his American publishers first if there was any light at the end of the Winds tunnel.
  21. It's a chapter that GRRM has been working on for a long time, but I wouldn't say that it's unfinished. At the time when he released it as a sample it was supposed to appear, as it is, in Winds, and before that in Dance. So it was very much finished at the time it was made public.
  22. Doesn't the Mercy chapter take place after the trials? It's implied there that Cersei is back in power.
