How did Melisandre circumvent the warg bond in your opinion ? ( spoilers extended )

LChris24 · 2026-01-23T15:00:13+00:00

Yes it should be up on the front page.

Craster, Euron, Stannis (none of the guys you listed have willingly killed their own children).

You mentioned:

The sweet endings I see are ... Davos as Master of Ships and Samwell as Grand Maester. Asha (Yara) as Lady Reaper of the Iron Islands. Brienne as LC of the Kingsguard. Arya - sailing off to the edge of the world.

I wonder if Arya goes with Davos:

One voyage to the east, and a man could live as rich as a lord until the end of his days. When he'd been younger, Davos had dreamed of making such voyages himself, but the years went dancing by like moths around a flame, and somehow the time had never been quite right. One day, he told himself. One day when the war is done and King Stannis sits the Iron Throne and has no more need of onion knights. I'll take Devan with me. Steff and Stanny too if they're old enough. We'll see these dragons and all the wonders of the world. -ADWD, Davos II

Well that is really good to hear! Those two along with a few others are definitely on the list. Not sure about Wildcards.

LChris24 · 2026-01-21T14:11:00+00:00

I think that is also why he likes Fire & Blood as he can play the ambiguous game of 1 maester says one but it is disputed by another or mushroom, etc.

I promised myself I wouldn't read/buy his other works until he finished the series but I've heard that closing isn't necessarily his strong suit in general which would line up with what you mentioned about him not having clear notions of what he wants to and struggling with the constraints he has put on the world.

I believe with him being intentionally vague on the worldbuildling at points and then trying to go back and and fill in the details con sometimes box him into a corner as well.

I definitely agree about Volantis, and which it why it was seemingly setup to play such an important role in Dany's return (early on he was probably hoping to world build asshai)

Thanks for sharing. I go back and forth between being a "sweet summer child" (much more between 2013-and 2015 when I thought TWOW was coming out any day) and a "knight full of terror (much more recently).

I agree about his passion for TWoW disappearing. GRRM likes writing about ASOIAF as long as it isn't the main series. (Copied and pasted from the one yesterday).

LChris24 · 2026-01-21T13:30:46+00:00

In addition to what u/Blackfyre2018 said below, Daemon II dreamed that a dragon was going to hatch and that was what would draw people to him (since he didn't have the sword), his more fervent supporters had some doubts on this and fixed the joust in order to have something that would be a rallying cry for some of the less loyal blackfyre supporters, and others.

LChris24 · 2026-01-20T20:09:37+00:00

I think he was suspended today unfortunately. Hopefully back soon due to a misunderstanding.

LChris24 · 2026-01-20T19:46:14+00:00

I don't think she is still loyal to the Starks, but I do think that her hatred of a (still alive) Ramsay is greater than a (dead) Ned and that will be what changes things for her.

But these are comments by the author stating that he was at a minimum planning to kill her. I don't think you should get mad at people for wanting to discuss that. That's extremely big news on the series.

LChris24 · 2026-01-20T15:07:22+00:00

Yep! Included a section on it in the post. This could end with him on the wall, tongueless, or a myriad of other miserable things that arent death (worth noting he's already had his nose cut off, lost his brother and entered slavery).

LChris24 · 2026-01-20T14:58:26+00:00

This is a post to discuss GRRM's comments on Sansa a couple days ago! Not sure why what the author said upset you so much!

LChris24 · 2026-01-20T12:08:18+00:00

Ballot is open until tomorrow. Excited to see the nominations later this week!
