GuestRights Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Given how late the book is, and the fact that GRRMs mention of no new POVs was years ago, how likely that GRRM added a new POV or three to overcome new story knots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuestRights Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 My guess is yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackLightning Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I think it's possible that he had added one. Two max. a Tyrell (either Margaery, Olenna, Garlan or Willas) someone native to Essos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have absolutely no idea on whose that might be though . I'd like Aegon's (even more so if he's fAegon) or a Tyrell's(preferably Garlan or Willas) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard of Banefort Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 George said he wasn’t adding any more new POVs, but he’s probably changed his mind since then. The sad part is, that means we’ll probably get fewer chapters for anyone not named Tyrion, Daenerys, Jon, or Arya. Even if Bran and Sansa have more important roles to play in ASOS, I feel like they’ll still only have five or six chapters each. Meanwhile, we’ll get three chapters of Arya sweeping the floors. . .

Maybe by Loras posing as Lord Commander since Jaime is far away and danger rises for the little king. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably need to see how House Tyrell falls to Euron Greyjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's certainly possible, but maybe not that likely. I think George can maybe add one or two new povs at best. Any more, and you end up with too much material for one book. The most likely way we get a new pov is if it's a character that's never appeared on page before at all. I wouldn't mind a Willas Tyrell perspective.

Nevets Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 We could possibly get someone for coverage, but that’s about it. We're nearing the end, so I doubt he adds any major new storylines (I certainly hope not). It would probably be for an offshoot of an existing storyline, something like Barristan in Meereen after Dany's departure or Jon Connington with Aegon after Tyrion left. Who or what that will be is impossible to guess at this point. Right now, he has his POVs fairly well situated, though I wonder if Stoneheart and the Riverlands can be adequately covered by Jaime or Brienne. I doubt we'll need a Tyrell. We have Aeron with Euron's fleet and Sam in Oldtown, plus Areo Hotah out somewhere in the area. The North and Essos have plenty of POVs, and Kings Landing has several present or nearby, so they should be OK as well. I wouldn't be surprised if he sticks with what he already has.

Arya is on the road home to westeros after the mercy chapter. I'd bet a substantial sum on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aejohn the Conqueroo Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Gotta at least be the prologue. I thought for a while that Meera would be a potential POV on her return from the north... but I don't think she's coming back any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werthead Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 As of today, zero. Quote Oh, and there will be new characters as well. No new viewpoints, I promise you that, but with all these journeys and battles and scheming to come, inevitably our major players will be encountering new people in lands far and near.

Corvinus85 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 The only thing I disagree with him in his post is when he said there will be a big debate at the end on which is better, the books or the show. Unless he decides to utilize the it-was-all-a-dream trope, there will be no debate. I feel optimistic after his post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
