[SPOILERS] A Dance With Dragons

[HisMajestyBOB]

Raynald Westerling is the real Aegon Targaryon, and he isn't dead.

And he'll have it, as soon as I grow a new hand, thought Jaime. "We all have expectations," he said mildly. "Tell me, is Ser Raynald Westerling amongst these captives?"
"The knight of seashells?" Edwyn sneered. "You'll find that one feeding the fish at the bottom of the Green Fork."
"He was in the yard when our men came to put the direwolf down," said Walder Rivers. "Whalen demanded his sword and he gave it over meek enough, but when the crossbowmen began feathering the wolf he seized Whalen's axe and cut the monster loose of the net they'd thrown over him. Whalen says he took a quarrel in his shoulder and another in the gut, but still managed to reach the wallwalk and throw himself into the river."
"He left a trail of blood on the steps," said Edwyn.
"Did you find his corpse afterward?" asked Jaime.

I think the wolf got away and I think Robb warged into the wolf before dying.

I thought "he" referred here to Raynald, not Grey Wind. Moreover, why would multiple people make up a story of putting the wolf's head on Robb's body if it didn't actually happen? And there's also the prophetic vision Dany saw of Robb being dead with a wolf's head on his shoulders.

it does seem  a  bit pointless acd fucked up even for  the freys but then tjere is a lot of pointless crap like that in history. also, the wolves. either through  summer or ghost at one point we hear of their siblings and how they  sense them nd im sure they say grey is dead

I agree with the sentiment that GRRM cannot be taken seriously when he kills a character.

I forced myself to finally finish this. I should not have.  I could not have cared less about all the extra characters many of whom we knew nothing about and will not hear from again - eg the whole Mereen political scene. Reading endlessly about Mereen court life and whether Dany felt more comfortable holding court with pillows under her toosh then not could have been cut completely.

Tyrion and Jon became boring and those story lines have been the only reason for reading for that last two books. And now what? Zombie Jon like Lady Stark (who we didnt hear from at all) Warg Jon or some Deus Ex Machina device to come. The whole thing was a boring slog filled with characters I cared nothing about and frankly I hoped Martin would kill off in his usual style of attempting to shock the reader but which, after the same thing over and over again, isnt shocking at all.

There wasnt even any Littlefinger to give some respite from the tedium.

At least I dont have to worry about whether this series will be finished. It is for me.
