What if it happens in the last chapter?
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

hmmm... I was under the impression that regardless of what happens in the last chapter that you would stop reading there?

yes but the act of stopping, as an act of protest, would become rather meaningless if all that was to be abandoned was half a chapter

Also, I read on the westeros.org forum that Mirri Maz Duur's prophecy appears to have been fulfilled:

When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east - Quentyn Martell coming east and dying there.

When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves - Dothraki Sea drying up, and the pyramids in Meereen destroyed by the dragons.

When your womb quickens again, and you bear a living child - Dany's apparent pregnancy at the end.

Cue Drogo's return, perhaps symbolically (his spirit within Drogon?).

God. I hope this doesn't happen, because that is the most retarded prophecy ever.

You sound like Gary Oldman in The Fifth Element.

Why have GRRM become so lefty?
Two of the main characters, Jon and Dany, are friggin liberals in an age of conservatism.

I just hope Dany gets wacked like Jon before the end of the next book.
She is a fucking whore. A liberal whore at that.

And both have had serious repercussions for their acting as such.  I fail to see your point.

GRRM has always been a lefty, though.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I liked the book. I am a little bored of the long traveling chapters though. If the series had started this way, Ned wouldn't have gotten to King's Landing until somewhere around the middle of Clash of Kings. :lol:

Fantasy is an inherently conservative genre.  Just ask David Brin.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Maybe the world of westeros is a very big planet in which winter last longer?
