I highly doubt he is dead as well.

Felt the first half of the book was just fuging book keeping. Last half was very fun.

As a character I thought danny took a step back, only to get interesting again at the end.

Dany's storyline was a plodding mule for the most part. I didn't think I'd like Reek's storyline, but his may have been the best of the book.

LOL DRAGONTAMER LOL

That was a great chapter.

Jon Snow may die eventually, but I think he's far too important to the series right now. Who is going to pick up that POV?

My theory that Varys prodded Tyrion into killing Tywin has more weight now.

Roose Bolton is lying to Jon Snow about Stannis im 80% sure about that.

Berninne was taking jamie to ole clayface or whatever her name is

Cersi is a waste of a character now imo. Is Robert Strong the Mountain that rides ?

Read he has 3or4 chapters of Winds of Winter complete, and no new characters will show up from now till the end of book.

100 pages of winds of winter already written, things that were pulled out of adwd

i'm not sure whether roose marched on umber's camp (or was it karstarks?) thinking it was stannis and rode them all down, but he most likely has mance as he says. otherwise how would he know who mance was?

the jaime chapter was pretty chilling. one of the stronger overall chapters imo as far as giving some kind of movement forward with those characters.

robert strong has to be gregor. no other real possibility there.

i love how the dragons made their lairs atop the pyramids of mereen

still unclear on what held the book up so long, and why he needed barristan's viewpoint to complete it. sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me.

and i expected a book 10 years in the making written by someone that does editing more often as not to keep his wife in pearls would be better edited and proofed

very disappoint in the proofing

I think so.

Still the best fiction ever, either way.

Ok, after thinking about it, it is impossible that bolton marched on stannis because if he had, he'd have his arya back. since arya is still missing, and it is known her and reek made it to stannis' camp, then there's no way bolton is telling the truth

Jon can't be AA and be dead, so he's not dead. Or won't stay dead. ;) Maybe a wight, but hopefully not. Hopefully he just managed to barely survive. I really don't want him to be in Ghost or whatever, blech.

also, Bolton was lying - Stannis is of course fine. The question is... why lie like that?

FINALLY finished...

Jon Snow isn't dead... I read it like the supposed death of Theon when Ramsay rode him down... Basically, you're supposed to think he's dead but he'll turn up alive later on... If I had to guess, the Wall POV in WoW will be from Melisandre and Jon... I think I read somewhere that there will be no new POV characters from here on out, aside from maybe prologues and epilogues, so that will only leave those two up there... right?

Jamie's chapter was awesome, but it pisses me off that GRRM is gonna leave us hanging like that (and maybe eventually Jamie too, lol, if he is indeed on his way to meet ol' Stoneheart)...

Not only was most of the Iron Island stuff still kind boring to me, but the whole Mereen stuff was just filler in my opinion... I'd have rather kept up with Tyrion a little more, or even Connington and Aegon's movement as opposed to the politics/Dany's wet dreams in Mereen... Dany's grown up a lot, but she's still immature as hell and I agree she took a step back before it seems as though she'll take a step forward...

Robert Strong has to be the mountain, and I think Qyburn will ultimately end up being revealed as a red priest that is in cahoots with Varys... I think R'hllor will end up being pivotal in the transition of the realm back to Aegon...

I also wish we'd have had a little more of Arya's stuff in this one, but I liked what we did get... Believe it or not, I'm actually curious as to what is going on with Littlefinger and Sansa now... Samwell as well, and the Faceless Man (maybe Ja'qen?) that is now pretending to be Pate...

All in all, ADWD was probably in the middle as far as my favorite books in the series goes... which still means that it is pretty much better than anything else out there...

I just hope we don't have to wait so long for the next book... not that I know what waiting is like since I just started reading aGoT in April, lol...

    • I agree.  As much as it doesn't make sense right now, I can see it happening.
    • I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction     
    • Better than a fragile starter, though
