I wait the return of Arya as well, rumour has it she will appear in the next book as well.
The Hound is supposedly technically dead yes, but there are clues to reveal that while The Hound is most likely dead, Sandor lives. |
How do you mean???
I began to even take a liking to him as well, there. He is kind of the reluctant hero.

During Brienne's chapters with the Brothers in the monastery or whatever it is. It is implied that perhaps Sandor is living among them there.

Hmm, were they referring to the person wearing his helm, though? I can't remember exactly. I may have to start reading, after all.

I have not seen the web site. I didn't know that there was one.

Its just the authors name www.georgerrmartin.com There are several interesting points on there. He has a Song of Ice and Fire Update, which hasnt been updated since October, but we are expecting one soon. And he has another part called Not a Blog, which is basically a blog. He wirtes whatever he likes in there, from football to home renovations to Song of Ice and Fire updates. In the blog part he said a big update would be on the site soon, but I doubt it is about the book, probably some other projet of his.

On a side note, have you noticed the increase in the amount of fighting practice that both Jon and Jaime have been doing? Could that be a touch of forshadowing?
Thanks for the website, by the way!

I just had another thought today. I noticed in the last book, there is talk about the last Queen with the Dragons that flew North, to the Wall, and stayed and visited there for a while.
Perhaps when Dany's dragons are mature enough to carry her, she will do the same, and her and Jon will hook up in this way?
A little foreshadowing, perhaps?

Your welcome for the site. The big announcement turned out to be that they will be making a mini series on HBO of a Song of Ice and Fire. That will be great. It is planned to be 7 seasons, one for each book. While I am a bit worried that the film version could never match my expectations, I am hoping this plays out well. I am also fearful that it oculd wind up cancelled after a season or two, which would leave so much unresolved.
As for Jon and Jaime fighting, im not so sure that it is foreshadowing. I really don't see Jaime winding up in the North, nor do I see Jon leaving the North (Leave the wall maybe, but not the North all together). They will both certainly have a need for their swordwork, but not against each other I don't think. Jaime's sword work won't save him though, he is doomed to not reach the end of the series I think.
Jon and Dany meeting is inevitable for so many reasons. It seems quite cliche but I expect them to end the series as heros, saving the world, and marrying one another as king and queen of the realm. I would prefer if one of them did not make it and had a tragic death, hah hah. I am not a huge fan of Dany in this series.

Wow! A mini series! That is awesome! However, I think that there will be some things that they won't be able to touch on that the books do. However, it may be great! We'll have to see.
I am surprised that you don't like Dany. I have grown to enjoy her chapters. She is very compassionate. Her and Jon would match well, I think. Do you think Jon will eventually take the name Stark? I think he would like to, because he truly loved Ned, however, I think he has become proud of his name Snow.
