Lord Varys Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Waho, if George is really going to kill off POVs, the point of getting Theon to the island could just be to get him there so that he could be sacrificed to Bran, to make him strong enough to talk through the weirwood and reveal himself to Stannis and the Northmen. Such a blood sacrifice may also make Bran strong enough to actually intervene in the coming battle on Stannis' side. We should go with the assumption that Bran and Bloodraven want Stannis to win and take Winterfell, as he and his men are effectively the only real army Bran and Bloodraven could marshal in the North when the Others finally attack. They are not exactly equipped to actively address people in the South yet. And Stannis is the only guy besides Jon who is actually uniting people against the Others. They may intend to use him while they prepare Jon, and wait for Dany and Tyrion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikkensmakersmark Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 So in summary, George's editors took all the chapters from ADwD that illuminate the larger story and moved them to TWoW, so as to keep us in a perpetual state of wtf for 5 to 7 years.

The Weirwoods Eyes Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Considering that Bran is chasing Nymeria to contact Arya, I think the chapter might be mainly related to how Bran is improving his powers and trying to the bring the "pack" together. :agree: I definitly felt that in Mercy Bran was trying to reach Arya through the wolf.

JLE Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 More to the point: If so much was already cut from ADWD, then just how much of TWOW was already written before ADWD was even published, and what's taking the rest so long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endymion I Targaryen Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Just a thought.what if Bran sees Others attacking Hardhome in this chapter while Jon was preparing to go there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he writes ADOS and TWOT chapters, to end the books before season 7 of the show, so the show can't spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
