If you put ice in a fire usually the fire wins but it depends on the amount |

Game of Thrones spoiler Do you think Jon is staying dead? I say no because Melisandre conveniently just arrived and priests of R'hllor have been known to revive the dead like Beric Dondarian. I also am intrigued by the new theory that Meerja is in fact Jon's twin.

Ice and Fire was a lot of words about how they travel to a place and then we read about a different person who must travel somewhere and do something. very interesting. |

The first one was fairly decent, now it's in dire need of an editor and probably less magic |

The whole story should have just been Ned starks arc mostly from his perspective and when he dies it ended. |

Once she was certain which way was south, she counted off her paces. The stream appeared at eight. Dany cupped her hands to drink. The water made her belly cramp, but cramps were easier to bear than thirst. Sunset found her squatting in the grass, groaning. Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler. By the time the moon came up she was making GBS threads brown water. The more she drank, the more she shat, but the more she shat, the thirstier she grew, and her thirst sent her crawling to the stream to suck up more water. When she closed her eyes at last, Dany did not know whether she would be strong enough to open them again Moon blood, it’s only my moon blood, but she did not remember ever having such a heavy flow. Could it be the water? If it was the water, she was doomed. She had to drink or die of thirst. Apparently I'm #1 Kotori fan |

I mean - I did not like part of the novels (looking at you A Feast for Crows) but I do think he has a real talent at conjuring up fantasy tales. He may not write like Tolkien but honestly comparing those two is really apples to oranges. Both are in the fantasy world but there the similarities end; rather I would say comparing GRRM to Frank Herbert is more realistic. Dune is essentially A Song of Ice and Fire only in space.

dune is better imo. if he's good at anything it's consistency in like 100+ characters, he must use some kind of organizational system to keep their locations and stuff together... |

joke_explainer posted:no he's the son of lyssa stark and rhaegar targaryen yeah the story is that hes their son but if you recall Howland Reed was the only other person besides Ned to see Lyssa in the Tower of Joy and the only other person who knows "the truth." then you look at his daughter, Meerja - who looks nothing like her brother but a lot like Jon Snow and is incidentally the same age. So we might be looking at a Luke/Leia Skywalker thing wherein Ned and Howland take Lysaa's twins as their own - dividing the pair to erase any possibility that the dots are connected by those who would not want to see the twins live.

oh, that makes one nagging thing a lot more clear. 'the dragon has three heads'. I knew dany would be one, and jon the other, but the third was still confusing. at first I thought it'd be aegon but it seems really unlikely that he is who they say he is. but if meera and jon are the other two heads, then dany's the third. nice and clean. but yeah I do think jon's going to get brought back to life though probably not with a pulse. |

However the other possibility is his "body guard" is in fact a Targ. I like the Meera theory better though - far more neat and "mind blowing"

just went through my ebooks confirming that description of the high septon. dang. I had a visual idea that he was actually quite tall. other than all that though, he seems too old to be Howland Reed, who should be just in his 30s at most? there's no physical description of howland reed short of him being young and slight in the tourney story jojen tells, but it seems like the completely grey-haired high sparrow would be too old to be reed. i admit the strange correlations in the description are interesting though |
