A Dance With Dragons

[Viking]

Well, the next book is ready and will be published in 30 days time on 12 July. So, I'm going to use this opportunity to post predictions, not just for the book but for the remainder of the series.

- The Sailor's Wife in Braavos is actually Tysha Lannister (wife of Tyrion) and her daughter the blonde Lanna is his daughter and ultimate heir to Casterly Rock.

- The book Maester Aemon left on Jon's desk tells him the story of the TOJ, his part in it.

- Jon is son of Rhaegar + Lyanna (obvious prediction).

- Ned learned about the prophecy from Lyanna. Howland Reed knows as well and Ned told the Mormonts.

- Longclaw = Dawn = Lightbringer

- Mance is Rhaegar

- Aurane Waters = Aegon son of Rhaegar

- Dany gets two fleets, the Iron Fleet and Aurane's Fleet.

- Janos Slynt tries to kill Jon and he or one of the other Lannister catspaws "succeeds", this means Jon is released from his NW oath, he is revived by melisandre.

- Characters mysteriously age several years instantly.

Woah

- Victarion kills Quentyn Martell

Isn't Aurane Waters a bit too old to be Aegon? He's over twenty, while Aegon would have been only slightly older than Robb and Jon.

- Every bit character is either someone else, or the son/daughter of an important character. Half the cast of appropriate age are sons of Rhaegar.

Isn't Aurane Waters a bit too old to be Aegon? He's over twenty, while Aegon would have been only slightly older than Robb and Jon.

He was an infant at the time of the sack of KL, so he would be some years older than Robb, Jon and Dany.

[The Brain]

- Ned returns.

- The Sailor's Wife in Braavos is actually Tysha Lannister (wife of Tyrion) and her daughter the blonde Lanna is his daughter and ultimate heir to Casterly Rock.

That's a new one. Never heard that before.

Agreed on Jon. Seems rather obvious. Though that every fan has been predicting it forever sort of makes me think George might go another way...but nah.

Jon dying and being released from his oath....maybe in a future book, don't think its coming next.

Aurane Waters being someone of note...nah. Hope not anyway. That seems a bit potentially obvious not just to readers but to people in universe.

I'm sticking with Melisandre= Anti-Other. Some sort of symetry is in place with Asshai and its permanent night. Though doubt that will come up in the next book, Dany is going to Valeria there, not Asshai.

Still Aegon would not be older than 20, while Aurane is over that.

Most of the predictions in this thread will prove to be wrong.

I predict he will start a million billion new small plotlines that go all over the place most of which will go fucking nowhere and by the books end he will have resolved none of the old or new ones. Also I predict much annoyance when the next book will be announced in 2018 which will be the last as he dies from obesity run rampant a month later.

Bitter much?

More like needling the fantards that seems to populate every forum in the universe. Personally I never understood whats so great about this series. Though I´ve read it through it always struck me as pretty average. The books tend to take about a year to read through as they never capture my fancy enough for more than a chapter or two.

Your needling would be more effective if you did not post like you are a bitter fantard of the series yourself.

Fair enough.  Lots of people like all sorts of things I do not care for.

Probably my annoyance that every fantasy discussion thread I´ve read/written in the last 15 years always get populated by Martin fans screaming the glory of the series and eating up all the other actually interesting shit like a horde of cyberlocusts.
