There's been some buzz over whether there may be an eight book due to some comments his publisher made Tuesday: A Song of Ice and Fire Could Be 8, Not 7, Books -- Vulture

Re: Jon Snow I always thought that it was Elia with Rhaegar, because they call the baby "Aegon". But I think that the prophecies Rheagar read, led him to think Azor Ahai/TPTWP WOULD be Aegon because it was his only son and he was not like to have another with Elia (she wasn't the most healthy...

One of his ramblings a book prior to the Red Wedding. He obviously has some prophetic abilities. But I can't make sense of anything else he says. He also keeps talking about how the shadows are coming to dance, and to stay. I remember in ADWD Melisandre also talking about how the Other has...

They're talking about splitting upcoming books into multiple seasons, I would think that that trend would continue since the books just keep getting bigger. That would give him a few more years.

It won't be on Netflix though, HBO didn't want netflix having any of their shows' rights. I heard that they may wait until the second season is nearer to airing in order to drum up hype for its premiere, but they may think they can make more money during the holiday season. Merchandising...

I wonder about the fate of Marwyn as well, he was not included in quaithes warning of those that would follow the pale mare. Does he have contact with Quaithe through the glass candles? Quaithe did say that the glass candles were burning. Marwyn is the only one at the Citadel that has lit the...

Good question ursa. I doubt we will ever know the answer but she did seem to think that Jorah was not trustworthy after she met him. What will happen when Jorah meets Dany again? Does he nurse vengeance for his rejection? Does she still despise him for a traitor and punish him for returning...

I thought the book was phenomenal. But again it is but one book in a sprawling series. Every so once and awhile I would check the pages and see how much was left, knowing that once it was finished I'd have to wait at least another 3-4 years. With that in mind, Tyrion - traveled halfway...

True Ghost is a part of him. His wolf dreams have been getting stonger. But it's not something he accepts. After tasting the blood of a fresh kill in his mouth, he states "No. I am not a wolf". Ever since Aemon advised him to "kill the boy" I think he has shunned these indulgences, paying less...

I think it was just her time of the month and being malnourished though and not the flux. What if there were three heads of the dragon AND the Prince That Was Promised? Then all 4 can live!

Well he did refuse Winterfell and swore to take no part in the war. But throughout ADWD he's been slowly convincing himself that helping Stannis is the right thing to do. He does have some beef with the current authority of the North and Westeros as a whole. He helps Stannis at first with...

Moqorro the Red Priest, he's described as very dark skinned. He traveled with Tyrion for a while until the boat was crippled at sea and he was thrown overboard. Victarion picked him up and sails towards Mereen. I don't think we've seen Marwyn yet have we? Do you suppose he's still on his way or...

Re: Jon Snow You make a very good argument Boaz, I'm intrigued. But to play devil's advocate to one of your points, GRRM never paints truly honorable, blazing white characters. Everyone has their flaws. If Rhaegar was in love with Lyanna, he may have chosen love over honor as Eddard Stark did...

Re: Jon Snow I had that same gut feeling too Mesanna. But he has spent the entire book building up Tyrion's infatuation with fire and dragons.

Hmm. Poison you think? I'm not sure anyone left from the night's watch had access to a poisoner's knowledge. There are no maesters left, but I suppose there are a lot of criminals, I'm sure he could have gotten it from somewhere. Jon also lost feeling when the fourth dagger hit him, but it could...

I was the same way, I disliked AFFC crows the first time I read it. It didn't have Jon, Bran, or Tyrion in it, some of my favorite characters. The second re-read I realized that these characters were very important to the coming events down the road so I paid attention more and gave them a...

Oh good interpretation Edd, I like it. He's not a fake dragon but, Varys's dragon. I never thought of it like that. So he's a true dragon. But Moqorro says Tyrion was surrounded by young, old, fake, and true dragons. Who are the old dragons and fake dragons? Will they travel to Valyria? Will...

True, but that depends on what their selling. War creates chaos and lawlessness. Ships can't trade with cities that are under siege. Navies that usually patrol for pirates are busy sinking each other, or playing pirates themselves. I forget what our friend Illyrio traffics in, but if it's...

<SPOILERS BEWARE in case you missed the title of this thread. If you have not finished a Dance With Dragons beware reading further. You are forewarned.> <Also, this turned out to be very long...> So I thought this deserved it's own thread... Some quick background prophesies quoted from the...

Good catch! I wonder what else is buried under there. I confess I don't know about Illyrio, where he fits in. I'm not sure I believe master of coin either. Where do his interests lie? Who is he? He did have the dragon eggs, did he know their true purpose? Does he know of the prophecy? He is a...
